Overview

About

Maintained by Guillaume FabreFirst published 2023-12-213 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Integrated tools to support rigorous and well documented data harmonization based on Maelstrom Research guidelines. The package includes functions to assess and prepare input elements, apply specified processing rules to generate harmonized datasets, validate data processing and identify processing errors, and document and summarize harmonized outputs. The harmonization process is defined and structured by two key user-generated documents: the DataSchema (specifying the list of harmonized variables to generate across datasets) and the Data Processing Elements (specifying the input elements and processing algorithms to generate harmonized variables in DataSchema formats). The package was developed to address key challenges of retrospective data harmonization in epidemiology (as described in Fortier I and al. (2017) doi:10.1093/ije/dyw075) but can be used for any data harmonization initiative.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("Rmonize", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("maelstrom-research/Rmonize")

Development version from maelstrom-research/Rmonize. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rmonize

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-Rmonize

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-Rmonize

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
