Introduction

As this is a package extension, if you are new to admiral then the best place to first start reading would be the Get Started page. This extension package follows the same main idea and conventions, and re-uses many functions from admiral, so it is important to thoroughly understand these to be able to use admiralmetabolic.

Derivations

The most important functions in admiralmetabolic are the derivations. Again these follow the same conventions as admiral but are focused to ophthalmology-specific needs.

Creating ADaM Datasets

For the metabolic ADaM data structures, an overview of the flow and example function calls for the most common steps are provided by the following vignettes:

admiralmetabolic also provides template R scripts as a starting point. They can be created by calling use_ad_template() from admiral, e.g.,

library(admiral)
#> Error in get(paste0(generic, ".", class), envir = get_method_env()) : 
#>   object 'type_sum.accel' not found

use_ad_template(
  adam_name = "advs",
  save_path = "./ad_advs.R",
  package = "admiralmetabolic"
)
#>  File ./ad_advs.R has been created successfully

A list of all available templates from admiralmetabolic can be obtained by list_all_templates() from admiral:

list_all_templates(package = "admiralmetabolic")
#> Existing ADaM templates in package 'admiralmetabolic':
#> • ADCOEQ
#> • ADVS
