In OHDSI/SelfControlledCohort: Population-Level Estimation Method that Estimates Incidence Rate Comparison of Exposed/Unexposed Time Within an Exposed Cohort

SelfControlledCohort 1.6.0

Changes:

• Removed support for older versions of DatabaseConnector (< 5.0.0)
• Deprecated usage of oracleTempSchema in favour of tempEmulationSchema
• Allow calls to run with a DatabaseConnector connection object
• No longer supports undocumented use of connectionDetails$conn for storing connections when calling runSelfControlledCohort
• Added function computeSccRiskWindows to allow computation of exposure risk windows without having to run full SCC analysis
• Storage of results (before rate ratios are computed) now in a results table.
• Storage of time at risk results no longer merged with estimates
• Added tests on sqlite for faster unit testing while working on development
• Added testing on redshift
• Use of DatabaseConnector::renderTranslateQueryApplyBatched allowing optional callbacks for working with large data sets (too large for memory)
• Added computation of conventional p-values to results

SelfControlledCohort 1.5.1

Changes:

• Added support for github actions and removed travis configuration
• Added computeTarDistribution flag to runSelfControlledCohort, which computes the distribution of exposure time windows for subjects experiencing the outcome and average absolute time between exposure and outcome.
• Added vignette for usage with some examples

Bug Fixes: - Fixed issue with DatabaseConnector v 4.0.0 connectionDetails object on osx and linux caused by usage of connectionDetails$conn for storage of a connection
