Split mixed tables, i.e. tables that hold both long data (N values per patient) and short data (one value per patient, duplicated on N lines), into one long table and one short table.

Usage

split_mixed_datasets(
  datasets = get_datasets(),
  id = get_subjid_cols(),
  ...,
  ignore_cols = get_meta_cols(0.95),
  output_code = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

datasets

a dataframe or a list of dataframes to split. Default to all the datasets from .lookup.

id

the patient identifier, probably "SUBJID". Should be shared by all datasets. Case-insensitive.

...

not used

ignore_cols

columns to ignore when considering a table as long. Default to getOption("edc_cols_crfname", "CRFNAME"). Case-insensitive.

output_code

whether to print the code to explicitly write. Can also be a file path.

verbose

whether to print informations about the process.

Value

a list of the new long and short tables. Use load_list() to load them into the global environment.
