Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Create block randomisation list documents in three possible formats: HTML, PDF (requires LaTeX) and Microsoft Word

createRandomisationDoc(patients, strataVars, treatments, header = list(title =
  "Randomisierungsliste zur Studie: title", author = "author", date =
  Sys.Date()), format = c("html", "word", "pdf"), newpage = FALSE,
  file.rmd = system.file("extdata", "randomList.Rmd", package = "blockrand2"),
  outdir = file.path(tempdir(), "blockrand2"))

`patients`	data frame containing the patient's data as returned by `createTestdata`
`strataVars`	List of strata variables, each of which is defined in the form of a vector of possible (character) values.
`treatments`	named vector of character defining the possible treatments. The names are used as acronyms, the values as the full treatment names
`header`	list with elements `title, author, date` defining the values to be used in the title, author and date field, respectively, in the header of the document
`format`	vector of elements from `c("html", "word", "pdf")` defining the types of documents to be created
`newpage`	if `TRUE` and `"pdf"` is in `format` each stratum will appear on its own page in the created PDF document
`file.rmd`	full path to the RMarkdown file that is rendered to create the randomisation list documents. By default the file `randomList.Rmd` in the subfolder `extdata` of the package installation directory (returned by `system.path(package = "blockrand2")` is used. You may want to make a copy of this file, modify it and set `file.rmd` to the path of that new file to override the appearence of the created output.
`outdir`	full path to the output directory to which the created document files are written. By default the files are written to a subfolder `blockrand2` in the current R session's temporary directory

list containing the full paths to the created files as values and the file extensions (html, docx, pdf) as element names
