Overview

About

Maintained by Jeremy Wildfire2 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Contains chart code for monitoring clinical trial safety. Charts can be used as standalone output, but are also designed for use with the 'safetyGraphics' package, which makes it easy to load data and customize the charts using an interactive web-based interface created with Shiny.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/safetyCharts/safetyCharts_0.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "safetyCharts_0.3.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.3.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("SafetyGraphics/safetyCharts")

Development version from SafetyGraphics/safetyCharts. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
