Admiral Extension for Ophthalmology

Purpose

To provide a complementary (to {admiral}) toolbox that enables users to develop ophthalmology disease area datasets and endpoints.

Installation

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

if (!requireNamespace("remotes", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("pharmaverse/admiralophtha", ref = "devel")

Scope

Build a toolbox of re-usable functions and utilities to create Ophthalmology-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.

References and Documentation

Please refer to the {admiral} References and Documentation.

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 as {admiral} core package.
For development the devel branch of {admiral} core is used as a dependency. For releasing a new {admiralophtha} version it must run using the latest released {admiral} core version, i.e., main branch of {admiral} core.
