extractPatients: Extract Patients

In callistosp/dataTools: Tools for Compiling Patient Data for Pharmacometric Models

Description

Data.frames are subsetted using a vector of patients.

Usage

extractPatients(ds, px)

Arguments

ds	Parent data.frame to extract patient subset from.
px	Vector of patient identifiers to extract from the dataset.

Details

This function extracts a subset of patient data from a larger dataset. It assumes the first column of the data.frame ds contains alphanumeric subject identifications (SID) to be filtered; this column will be renamed "SID" as a result of this function if it is not already.

Value

A subset of the data.frame ds will be returned with only the patients listed in the px vector. The first column will be renamed "SID" as a result of this function.
