# admiralpeds

Pediatrics extension package for ADaM in R Asset Library `{admiral}`

## Purpose

To provide a complementary (to `{admiral}`) toolbox that enables users
to develop specifics for pediatric clinical trials.

## Installation

To install the development version of the package from GitHub run:

```r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("pharmaverse/admiralpeds")
```

### Dependencies

The latest version of the package works with the latest versions of the
packages stated in `DESCRIPTION`.

If a previous version of the package should be used, it is recommended
to use latest version of the dependencies at the point of time when the
previous version of {admiralpeds} was released.

## Scope

- Build a toolbox of re-usable functions and utilities to create
pediatrics-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 will focus on Anthropometric indicators (i.e.
child growth/development charts).

## Expectations

`{admiralpeds}` is expected to complement `{admiral}` and provide
functions to help with the creation of analyses required
for pediatric trial ADaMs.

## References and Documentation

- Please refer to the [References and
Documentation](https://pharmaverse.github.io/admiral/index.html#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 `main` branch of `{admiral}` core is used as a
dependency. For releasing a new `{admiralpeds}` version it must run
using the latest released `{admiral}` core version.
