A CDISC ARS reporting event as tflspec specs

Source: R/ars_read.R
tfl_ars_to_specs.Rd

Turns a reporting event (tfl_read_ars_json(), or a tfl_ars()) into the specs it says:

Usage

tfl_ars_to_specs(ars, table = FALSE)

Arguments

ars

A tfl_ars() or tfl_read_ars_json().

table

Also a table spec.

Value

A list: ard (a tfl_ard_spec()), report (a tfl_table_spec() holding the report sheets) and, with table = TRUE, table. Attribute unmapped: a data frame where, item, reason.

Details

  • the ARD spec: analysis sets as populations, analyses as analyses rows (method, dataset, population, where, by, variables, statistics, purpose, reason), the datasets they read as datasets (without a path: ARS does not say where the ADaM is);

  • the report spec: one report row per output in the list of contents' order, its file, and its display's titles, footnotes, header and footer;

  • with table = TRUE, a table spec with the variables rows the groupings give: a grouping's listed groups as the variable's levels.

tfl_ars()'s own layout comes back as it was written (one row with several variables, a hierarchy as one row); anyone else's analysis becomes one row each. A method is read from tflspec's ids, else from what its operations compute; an analysis whose method tflspec has no keyword for (an ANOVA, SAS code only ...) is not made a row and is listed in unmapped.
