ADTTE

Format

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 254 rows and 48 columns.

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 1191 rows and 55 columns.

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 254 rows and 26 columns.

Description

Use this function to add a new statistic row that is a function of the other statistics in an ARD.

Usage

add_calculated_row(
  x,
  expr,
  stat_name,
  by = c(all_ard_groups(), all_ard_variables(), any_of("context")),
  stat_label = stat_name,
  fmt_fn = NULL
)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Examples

ard_continuous(mtcars, variables = mpg) |>
  add_calculated_row(expr = max - min, stat_name = "range")

ard_continuous(mtcars, variables = mpg) |>
  add_calculated_row(
    expr =
      dplyr::case_when(
        mean > median ~ "Right Skew",
        mean < median ~ "Left Skew",
        .default = "Symmetric"
      ),
    stat_name = "skew"
  )

Description

Accepted aliases are non-negative integers and strings.

The integers are converted to functions that round the statistics to the number of decimal places to match the integer.

The formatting strings come in the form "xx", "xx.x", "xx.x%", etc. The number of xs that appear after the decimal place indicate the number of decimal places the statistics will be rounded to. The number of xs that appear before the decimal place indicate the leading spaces that are added to the result. If the string ends in "%", results are scaled by 100 before rounding.

Usage

alias_as_fmt_fn(x, variable, stat_name)

Arguments

Value

a function

Examples

alias_as_fmt_fn(1)
alias_as_fmt_fn("xx.x")

Description

Apply the formatting functions to each of the raw statistics. Function aliases are converted to functions using alias_as_fmt_fn().

Usage

apply_fmt_fn(x, replace = FALSE)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Examples

ard_continuous(ADSL, variables = "AGE") |>
  apply_fmt_fn()

Description

Add variable attributes to an ARD data frame.

• The label attribute will be added for all columns, and when no label is specified and no label has been set for a column using the ⁠label=⁠ argument, the column name will be placed in the label statistic.

• The class attribute will also be returned for all columns.

• Any other attribute returned by attributes() will also be added, e.g. factor levels.

Usage

ard_attributes(data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
ard_attributes(data, variables = everything(), label = NULL, ...)

## Default S3 method:
ard_attributes(data, ...)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Examples

df <- dplyr::tibble(var1 = letters, var2 = LETTERS)
attr(df$var1, "label") <- "Lowercase Letters"

ard_attributes(df, variables = everything())

Description

Compute Analysis Results Data (ARD) for categorical summary statistics.

Usage

ard_categorical(data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
ard_categorical(
  data,
  variables,
  by = dplyr::group_vars(data),
  strata = NULL,
  statistic = everything() ~ c("n", "p", "N"),
  denominator = NULL,
  fmt_fn = NULL,
  stat_label = everything() ~ default_stat_labels(),
  ...
)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Denominators

By default, the ard_categorical() function returns the statistics "n", "N", and "p", where little "n" are the counts for the variable levels, and big "N" is the number of non-missing observations. The default calculation for the percentage is merely p = n/N.

However, it is sometimes necessary to provide a different "N" to use as the denominator in this calculation. For example, in a calculation of the rates of various observed adverse events, you may need to update the denominator to the number of enrolled subjects.

In such cases, use the denominator argument to specify a new definition of "N", and subsequently "p". The argument expects one of the following inputs:

• a data frame. Any columns in the data frame that overlap with the by/strata columns will be used to calculate the new "N".

• an integer. This single integer will be used as the new "N"

• a string: one of "column", "row", or "cell". "column" is equivalent to denominator=NULL. "row" gives 'row' percentages where by/strata columns are the 'top' of a cross table, and the variables are the rows. "cell" gives percentages where the denominator is the number of non-missing rows in the source data frame.

• a structured data frame. The data frame will include columns from by/strata. The last column must be named "...ard_N...". The integers in this column will be used as the updated "N" in the calculations.

Other Statistics

In some cases, you may need other kinds of statistics for categorical variables. Despite the name, ard_continuous() can be used to obtain these statistics.

In the example below, we calculate the mode of a categorical variable.

get_mode <- function(x) {
  table(x) |> sort(decreasing = TRUE) |> names() |> getElement(1L)
}

ADSL |>
  ard_continuous(
    variables = AGEGR1,
    statistic = list(AGEGR1 = list(mode = get_mode))
  )
#> {cards} data frame: 1 x 8
#>   variable   context stat_name stat_label  stat fmt_fn
#> 1   AGEGR1 continuo…      mode       mode 65-80   <fn>
#> i 2 more variables: warning, error

Examples

ard_categorical(ADSL, by = "ARM", variables = "AGEGR1")

ADSL |>
  dplyr::group_by(ARM) |>
  ard_categorical(
    variables = "AGEGR1",
    statistic = everything() ~ "n"
  )

Description

Function is similar to ard_continuous(), but allows for more complex summaries. While ard_continuous(statistic) only allows for a univariable function, ard_complex(statistic) can handle more complex data summaries.

Usage

ard_complex(
  data,
  variables,
  by = dplyr::group_vars(data),
  strata = NULL,
  statistic,

  stat_label = everything() ~ default_stat_labels(),
  ...
)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

)

# return the grand mean and the mean within the `by` group
grand_mean <- function(data, full_data, variable, ...) {
  list(
    mean = mean(data[[variable]], na.rm = TRUE),
    grand_mean = mean(full_data[[variable]], na.rm = TRUE)
  )
}

ADSL |>
  dplyr::group_by(ARM) |>
  ard_complex(
    variables = "AGE",
    statistic = list(AGE = list(means = grand_mean))

    variables = "AGE",
    statistic =
      ~ list(conf.int = \(x) t.test(x)[["conf.int"]] |>

)

ard_stack(
  data = ADSL,
  ard_categorical(variables = "AGEGR1"),
  ard_continuous(variables = "AGE"),
  .by = "ARM",
  .shuffle = TRUE
)

Description

Use these functions to calculate multiple summaries of nested or hierarchical data in a single call.

• ard_stack_hierarchical(): Calculates rates of events (e.g. adverse events) utilizing the denominator and id arguments to identify the rows in data to include in each rate calculation.

• ard_stack_hierarchical_count(): Calculates counts of events utilizing all rows for each tabulation.

Usage

ard_stack_hierarchical(
  data,
  variables,
  by = dplyr::group_vars(data),
  id,
  denominator,
  include = everything(),
  statistic = everything() ~ c("n", "N", "p"),
  overall = FALSE,
  over_variables = FALSE,
  attributes = FALSE,
  total_n = FALSE,
  shuffle = FALSE
)

ard_stack_hierarchical_count(
  data,
  variables,
  by = dplyr::group_vars(data),
  denominator = NULL,
  include = everything(),
  overall = FALSE,
  over_variables = FALSE,
  attributes = FALSE,
  total_n = FALSE,
  shuffle = FALSE
)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Subsetting Data for Rate Calculations

To calculate event rates, the ard_stack_hierarchical() function identifies rows to include in the calculation. First, the primary data frame is sorted by the columns identified in the id, by, and variables arguments.

As the function cycles over the variables specified in the variables argument, the data frame is grouped by id, intersect(by, names(denominator)), and variables utilizing the last row within each of the groups.

For example, if the call is ard_stack_hierarchical(data = ADAE, variables = c(AESOC, AEDECOD), id = USUBJID), then we'd first subset ADAE to be one row within the grouping c(USUBJID, AESOC, AEDECOD) to calculate the event rates in 'AEDECOD'. We'd then repeat and subset ADAE to be one row within the grouping c(USUBJID, AESOC) to calculate the event rates in 'AESOC'.

Overall Argument

When we set overall=TRUE, we wish to re-run our calculations removing the stratifying columns. For example, if we ran the code below, we results would include results with the code chunk being re-run with by=NULL.

ard_stack_hierarchical(
  data = ADAE,
  variables = c(AESOC, AEDECOD),
  by = TRTA,
  denominator = ADSL |> dplyr::rename(TRTA = ARM),
  overall = TRUE
)

But there is another case to be aware of: when the by argument includes columns that are not present in the denominator, for example when tabulating results by AE grade or severity in addition to treatment assignment. In the example below, we're tabulating results by treatment assignment and AE severity. By specifying overall=TRUE, we will re-run the to get results with by = AESEV and again with by = NULL.

ard_stack_hierarchical(
  data = ADAE,
  variables = c(AESOC, AEDECOD),
  by = c(TRTA, AESEV),
  denominator = ADSL |> dplyr::rename(TRTA = ARM),
  overall = TRUE
)

Examples

ard_stack_hierarchical(
  ADAE,
  variables = c(AESOC, AEDECOD),
  by = TRTA,
  denominator = ADSL |> dplyr::rename(TRTA = ARM),
  id = USUBJID
)

ard_stack_hierarchical_count(
  ADAE,
  variables = c(AESOC, AEDECOD),
  by = TRTA,
  denominator = ADSL |> dplyr::rename(TRTA = ARM)
)

Description

General function for calculating ARD results within subgroups.

While the examples below show use with other functions from the cards package, this function would primarily be used with the statistical functions in the cardx functions.

Description

eval_capture_conditions()

Evaluates an expression while also capturing error and warning conditions. Function always returns a named list list(result=, warning=, error=). If there are no errors or warnings, those elements will be NULL. If there is an error, the result element will be NULL.

Messages are neither saved nor printed to the console.

Evaluation is done via rlang::eval_tidy(). If errors and warnings are produced using the {cli} package, the messages are processed with cli::ansi_strip() to remove styling from the message.

captured_condition_as_message()/captured_condition_as_error()

These functions take the result from eval_capture_conditions() and return errors or warnings as either messages (via cli::cli_inform()) or errors (via cli::cli_abort()). These functions handle cases where the condition messages may include curly brackets, which would typically cause issues when processed with the ⁠cli::cli_*()⁠ functions.

Functions return the "result" from eval_capture_conditions().

Usage

eval_capture_conditions(expr, data = NULL, env = caller_env())

captured_condition_as_message(
  x,
  message = c("The following {type} occured:", x = "{condition}"),
  type = c("error", "warning"),
  envir = rlang::current_env()
)

captured_condition_as_error(
  x,
  message = c("The following {type} occured:", x = "{condition}"),
  type = c("error", "warning"),
  call = get_cli_abort_call(),
  envir = rlang::current_env()
)

Arguments

Value

a named list

Examples

# function executes without error or warning
eval_capture_conditions(letters[1:2])

# an error is thrown
res <- eval_capture_conditions(stop("Example Error!"))
res
captured_condition_as_message(res)

# if more than one warning is returned, all are saved
eval_capture_conditions({
  warning("Warning 1")
  warning("Warning 2")
  letters[1:2]
})

# messages are not printed to the console
eval_capture_conditions({
  message("A message!")
  letters[1:2]
})

Description

Returns the statistics from an ARD as a named list.

Usage

get_ard_statistics(x, ..., .column = "stat", .attributes = NULL)

Arguments

Value

named list

Examples

ard <- ard_categorical(ADSL, by = "ARM", variables = "AGEGR1")

get_ard_statistics(
  ard,
  group1_level %in% "Placebo",
  variable_level %in% "65-80",
  .attributes = "stat_label"
)

Description

Returns a function with the requested rounding and scaling schema.

Usage

label_cards(digits = 1, scale = 1, width = NULL)

Arguments

Value

a function

Examples

label_cards(2)(pi)
label_cards(1, scale = 100)(pi)
label_cards(2, width = 5)(pi)

Description

For each column in the passed data frame, the function returns a named list with the value being the largest/last element after a sort. For factors, the last level is returned, and for logical vectors TRUE is returned. This is used as the default value in ard_dichotomous(value) if not specified by the user.

Usage

maximum_variable_value(data)

Arguments

Value

a named list

Examples

ADSL[c("AGEGR1", "BMIBLGR1")] |> maximum_variable_value()

Create empty ARDs used to create mock tables or table shells. Where applicable, the formatting functions are set to return 'xx' or 'xx.x'.

Usage

mock_categorical(
  variables,
  statistic = everything() ~ c("n", "p", "N"),
  by = NULL
)

mock_continuous(
  variables,
  statistic = everything() ~ c("N", "mean", "sd", "median", "p25", "p75", "min", "max"),
  by = NULL
)

) |>
  apply_fmt_fn()

mock_continuous(
  variables = c("AGE", "BMIBL"),
  by = list(TRTA = c("Placebo", "Xanomeline High Dose", "Xanomeline Low Dose"))
) |>
  # update the mock to report 'xx.xx' for standard deviations
  update_ard_fmt_fn(variables = c("AGE", "BMIBL"), stat_names = "sd", fmt_fn = \(x) "xx.xx") |>
  apply_fmt_fn()

Description

This function is similar to tidyr::nest(), except that it retains rows for unobserved combinations (and unobserved factor levels) of by variables, and unobserved combinations of stratifying variables.

The levels are wrapped in lists so they can be stacked with other types of different classes.

Usage

nest_for_ard(
  data,
  by = NULL,

  key = "data",
  rename_columns = TRUE,
  list_columns = TRUE,
  include_data = TRUE

      dplyr::left_join(ADSL[c("USUBJID", "ARM")], by = "USUBJID") |>
      dplyr::filter(AOCCSFL %in% "Y"),
  by = "ARM",
  strata = "AESOC"
)

Description

Function parses the errors and warnings observed while calculating the statistics requested in the ARD and prints them to the console as messages.

Usage

print_ard_conditions(x)

Examples

ard_categorical(ADSL, variables = AGEGR1) |>
  print()

Description

Functions process tidyselect arguments passed to functions in the cards package. The processed values are saved to the calling environment, by default.

• process_selectors(): the arguments will be processed with tidyselect and converted to a vector of character column names.

• process_formula_selectors(): for arguments that expect named lists or lists of formulas (where the LHS of the formula is a tidyselector). This function processes these inputs and returns a named list. If a name is repeated, the last entry is kept.

• fill_formula_selectors(): when users override the default argument values, it can be important to ensure that each column from a data frame is assigned a value. This function checks that each column in data has an assigned value, and if not, fills the value in with the default value passed here.

• compute_formula_selector(): used in process_formula_selectors() to evaluate a single argument.

• check_list_elements(): used to check the class/type/values of the list elements, primarily those processed with process_formula_selectors().

• cards_select(): wraps tidyselect::eval_select() |> names(), and returns better contextual messaging when errors occur.

Usage

process_selectors(data, ...)

process_formula_selectors(data, ...)

Arguments

Value

process_selectors(), fill_formula_selectors(), process_formula_selectors() and check_list_elements() return NULL. compute_formula_selector() returns a named list.

Examples

example_env <- rlang::new_environment()

process_selectors(ADSL, variables = starts_with("TRT"), env = example_env)
get(x = "variables", envir = example_env)

fill_formula_selectors(ADSL, env = example_env)

process_formula_selectors(
  ADSL,
  statistic = list(starts_with("TRT") ~ mean, TRTSDT = min),
  env = example_env
)
get(x = "statistic", envir = example_env)

check_list_elements(
  get(x = "statistic", envir = example_env),
  predicate = function(x) !is.null(x),
  error_msg = c(
    "Error in the argument {.arg {arg_name}} for variable {.val {variable}}.",
    "i" = "Value must be a named list of functions."
  )
)

# process one list
compute_formula_selector(ADSL, x = starts_with("U") ~ 1L)

Description

This function combines a pair of group/group_level or variable/variable_level columns into a single column. The group_level or variable_level column is renamed according to the value of the group or variable column, respectively.

Usage

rename_ard_columns(
  x,
  columns = c(all_ard_groups(), all_ard_variables()),
  unlist = NULL
)

Arguments

Value

data frame

Examples

ADSL |>
  ard_categorical(by = ARM, variables = AGEGR1) |>
  apply_fmt_fn() |>
  rename_ard_columns(unlist = c(stat, stat_fmt))

Description

When a statistical summary function errors, the "stat" column will be NULL. It is, however, sometimes useful to replace these values with a non-NULL value, e.g. NA.

Usage

replace_null_statistic(x, value = NA, rows = TRUE)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Examples

# the quantile functions error because the input is character, while the median function returns NA
data.frame(x = rep_len(NA_character_, 10)) |>
  ard_continuous(
    variables = x,
    statistic = ~ continuous_summary_fns(c("median", "p25", "p75"))
  ) |>
  replace_null_statistic(rows = !is.null(error))

Description

Rounds the values in its first argument to the specified number of decimal places (default 0). Importantly, round5() does not use Base R's "round to even" default. Standard rounding methods are implemented, for example, round5(0.5) = 1.

Usage

round5(x, digits = 0)

Arguments

Details

Function inspired by janitor::round_half_up().

Value

a numeric vector

Examples

x <- 0:4 / 2
round5(x) |> setNames(x)

# compare results to Base R
round(x) |> setNames(x)

Description

These selection helpers match variables according to a given pattern.

• all_ard_groups(): Function selects grouping columns, e.g. columns named "group##" or "group##_level".

• all_ard_variables(): Function selects variables columns, e.g. columns named "variable" or "variable_level".

• all_ard_group_n(): Function selects n grouping columns.

• all_missing_columns(): Function selects columns that are all NA or empty.

Usage

all_ard_groups(types = c("names", "levels"))

all_ard_variables(types = c("names", "levels"))

all_ard_group_n(n)

all_missing_columns()

Arguments

Value

tidyselect output

Examples

ard <- ard_categorical(ADSL, by = "ARM", variables = "AGEGR1")

ard |> dplyr::select(all_ard_groups())
ard |> dplyr::select(all_ard_variables())

Description

This function ingests an ARD object and shuffles the information to prepare for analysis. Helpful for streamlining across multiple ARDs. Combines each group/group_level into 1 column, back fills missing grouping values from the variable levels where possible, and optionally trims statistics-level metadata.

Usage

shuffle_ard(x, trim = TRUE)

Arguments

Value

a tibble

Examples

bind_ard(
  ard_categorical(ADSL, by = "ARM", variables = "AGEGR1"),
  ard_categorical(ADSL, variables = "ARM")
) |>
  shuffle_ard()

Description

• continuous_summary_fns() returns a named list of summary functions for continuous variables. Some functions include slight modifications to their base equivalents. For example, the min() and max() functions return NA instead of Inf when an empty vector is passed. Statistics "p25" and "p75" are calculated with quantile(type = 2), which matches SAS's default value.

Usage

continuous_summary_fns(
  summaries = c("N", "mean", "sd", "median", "p25", "p75", "min", "max"),
  other_stats = NULL
)

Arguments

Value

named list of summary statistics

Examples

# continuous variable summaries
ard_continuous(
  ADSL,
  variables = "AGE",
  statistic = ~ continuous_summary_fns(c("N", "median"))
)

Description

ARD functions for relocating columns and rows to the standard order.

• tidy_ard_column_order() relocates columns of the ARD to the standard order.

• tidy_ard_row_order() orders rows of ARD according to variables, groups, and strata, while retaining the order of the input ARD.

Usage

tidy_ard_column_order(x)

tidy_ard_row_order(x)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Examples

# order columns
ard <-
  dplyr::bind_rows(
    ard_continuous(mtcars, variables = "mpg"),
    ard_continuous(mtcars, variables = "mpg", by = "cyl")
  )

tidy_ard_column_order(ard) |>
  tidy_ard_row_order()

Description

Function converts a model's one-row tidy data frame into an ARD structure. The tidied data frame must have been constructed with eval_capture_conditions().

This function is primarily for developers and few consistency checks have been included.

Usage

tidy_as_ard(
  lst_tidy,
  tidy_result_names,
  fun_args_to_record = character(0L),
  formals = list(),
  passed_args = list(),
  lst_ard_columns
)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Examples

# example how one may create a fisher.test() ARD function
my_ard_fishertest <- function(data, by, variable, ...) {
  # perform fisher test and format results -----------------------------------
  lst_tidy_fisher <-
    eval_capture_conditions(
      # this manipulation is similar to `fisher.test(...) |> broom::tidy()`
      stats::fisher.test(x = data[[variable]], y = data[[by]], ...)[c("p.value", "method")] |>
        as.data.frame()
    )

  # build ARD ------------------------------------------------------------------
  tidy_as_ard(
    lst_tidy = lst_tidy_fisher,
    tidy_result_names = c("p.value", "method"),
    fun_args_to_record =
      c(
        "workspace", "hybrid", "hybridPars", "control", "or",
        "conf.int", "conf.level", "simulate.p.value", "B"
      ),
    formals = formals(stats::fisher.test),
    passed_args = dots_list(...),
    lst_ard_columns = list(group1 = by, variable = variable, context = "fishertest")
  )
}

my_ard_fishertest(mtcars, by = "am", variable = "vs")

Description

Functions used to update ARD formatting functions and statistic labels.

This is a helper function to streamline the update process. If it does not exactly meet your needs, recall that an ARD is just a data frame and it can be modified directly.

Usage

update_ard_fmt_fn(
  x,
  variables = everything(),
  stat_names,
  fmt_fn,
  filter = TRUE
)

update_ard_stat_label(
  x,
  variables = everything(),
  stat_names,
  stat_label,
  filter = TRUE
)

Arguments

Value

an ARD data frame of class 'card'

Examples

ard_continuous(ADSL, variables = AGE) |>
  update_ard_fmt_fn(stat_names = c("mean", "sd"), fmt_fn = 8L) |>
  update_ard_stat_label(stat_names = c("mean", "sd"), stat_label = "Mean (SD)") |>
  apply_fmt_fn()

# same as above, but only apply update to the Placebo level
ard_continuous(
  ADSL,
  by = ARM,
  variables = AGE,
  statistic = ~ continuous_summary_fns(c("N", "mean"))
) |>
  update_ard_fmt_fn(stat_names = "mean", fmt_fn = 8L, filter = group1_level == "Placebo") |>
  apply_fmt_fn()
