ards: A package for creating Analysis Results Datasets

Description

An Analysis Results Dataset (ARDS) is commonly used in the pharma-biotech industry to capture the results of an analysis in a tabular data structure. The ards package helps create the ARDS. ards functions can be called from inside a report program or a data preparation program. The functions use a "bucketing" approach, whereby data can be added to the ARDS in multiple calls and from multiple intermediate data sets.

Details

The ards package allows you to easily create an ARDS dataset in a standard clinical reporting or data preparation program. The ards package contains only three functions, and each will be used to create the ARDS dataset. The functions will be called in the following order, and for the described purpose:

• init_ards: Initialize an ARDS dataset

• add_ards: Add data to an ARDS dataset

• get_ards: Extract the completed ARDS

The following figure describes the structure of the ARDS dataset. This structure is recommended by CDISC.
