admiralneuro

Purpose

To provide a complementary (toadmiral) toolbox that enables users to develop neuroscience disease area specifics.

Installation

The package is available from CRAN and can be installed with:

install.packages("admiralneuro")

To install the latest development version of the package directly from GitHub use the following code:

pak::pkg_install("admiralneuro", dependencies=TRUE)

Scope

• Build a toolbox of re-usable functions and utilities to create neuroscience-specific ADaM datasets in R in a modular manner.
• All functions are created based upon the ADaM Implementation Guide and aim to facilitate the programming of ADaM dataset standards.
• Initially the package focuses on the most common efficacy endpoint needs for Amyloid PET and Tau PET, but over time we will look to add extra areas such as: cognitive scores, lab biomarkers and questionnaires.

Expectations

admiralneuro is expected to complementadmiral and provide functions to help with the creation of the efficacy endpoints required for neuroscience ADaMs.

R Versions

Here’s a summary of our strategy for this package related to R versions:

• R versions for developers and users will follow the same asadmiral core package.
• For development themain branch ofadmiral core is used as a dependency. For releasing a newadmiralneuro version it must run using the latest releasedadmiral core version.
