In omock: Creation of Mock Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model

Creates an empty CDM (Common Data Model) reference for a mock database.

Description

This function initializes an empty CDM reference with a specified name and populates it with mock vocabulary tables based on the provided vocabulary set. It is particularly useful for setting up a simulated environment for testing and development purposes within the OMOP CDM framework.

Usage

mockCdmReference(cdmName = "mock database", vocabularySet = "mock")

Arguments

cdmName

A character string specifying the name of the CDM object to be created.This name can be used to identify the CDM object within a larger simulation or testing framework. Default is "mock database".

vocabularySet

A character string specifying the name of the vocabulary set to be used when creating the vocabulary tables for the CDM. Options are "mock" or "eunomia": "mock": Provides a very small synthetic vocabulary subset, suitable for tests that do not require realistic vocabulary names or relationships. "eunomia": Uses the vocabulary from the Eunomia test database, which contains real vocabularies available from ATHENA.

Value

Returns a CDM object that is initially empty but includes mock vocabulary tables.The object structure is compliant with OMOP CDM standards, making it suitable for further population with mock data like person, visit, and observation records.

Examples

library(omock)

# Create a new empty mock CDM reference
cdm <- mockCdmReference()

# Display the structure of the newly created CDM
print(cdm)
