get_vars_query: Get Query Variables

In admiral: ADaM in R Asset Library

Get Query Variables

Description

Create a table for the input dataset which binds the necessary rows for a derive_vars_query() call with the relevant SRCVAR, TERM_NAME_ID and a temporary index if it is necessary

Note: This function is the first step performed in derive_vars_query() requested by some users to be present independently from it.

Usage

get_vars_query(dataset, dataset_queries)

Arguments

dataset	Input dataset Default value none
dataset_queries	A dataset containing required columns PREFIX, GRPNAME, SRCVAR, TERMCHAR and/or TERMNUM, and optional columns GRPID, SCOPE, SCOPEN. create_query_data() can be used to create the dataset. Default value none

Details

This function can be used to derive CDISC variables such as SMQzzNAM, SMQzzCD, SMQzzSC, SMQzzSCN, and CQzzNAM in ADAE and ADMH, and variables such as SDGzzNAM, SDGzzCD, and SDGzzSC in ADCM. An example usage of this function can be found in the OCCDS vignette.

A query dataset is expected as an input to this function. See the Queries Dataset Documentation vignette for descriptions, or call data("queries") for an example of a query dataset.

For each unique element in PREFIX, the corresponding "NAM" variable will be created. For each unique PREFIX, if GRPID is not "" or NA, then the corresponding "CD" variable is created; similarly, if SCOPE is not "" or NA, then the corresponding "SC" variable will be created; if SCOPEN is not "" or NA, then the corresponding "SCN" variable will be created.

For each record in dataset, the "NAM" variable takes the value of GRPNAME if the value of TERMCHAR or TERMNUM in dataset_queries matches the value of the respective SRCVAR in dataset. Note that TERMCHAR in dataset_queries dataset may be NA only when TERMNUM is non-NA and vice versa. The matching is case insensitive. The "CD", "SC", and "SCN" variables are derived accordingly based on GRPID, SCOPE, and SCOPEN respectively, whenever not missing.

Value

The processed query dataset with SRCVAR and TERM_NAME_ID so that that can be merged to the input dataset to execute the derivations outlined by dataset_queries.
