execute a large-scale characterization study

Source: R/RunCharacterization.R

Specify the database connection containing the CDM data, the cohort database schemas/tables, the characterization settings and the directory to save the results to

)

Arguments

connectionDetails

The connection details to the database containing the OMOP CDM data

targetDatabaseSchema

Schema name where your target cohort table resides. Note that for SQL Server, this should include both the database and schema name, for example 'scratch.dbo'.

targetTable

Name of the target cohort table.

outcomeDatabaseSchema

Schema name where your outcome cohort table resides. Note that for SQL Server, this should include both the database and schema name, for example 'scratch.dbo'.

outcomeTable

Name of the outcome cohort table.

tempEmulationSchema

Some database platforms like Oracle and Impala do not truly support temp tables. To emulate temp tables, provide a schema with write privileges where temp tables can be created

cdmDatabaseSchema

The schema with the OMOP CDM data

characterizationSettings

The study settings created using createCharacterizationSettings

outputDirectory

The location to save the final csv files to

executionPath

The location where intermediate results are saved to

csvFilePrefix

A string to append the csv files in the outputDirectory

databaseId

The unique identifier for the cdm database

showSubjectId

Whether to include subjectId of failed rechallenge case series or hide

minCellCount

The minimum count value that is calculated

incremental

If TRUE then skip previously executed analyses that completed

threads

The number of threads to use when running aggregate covariates

minCharacterizationMean

The minimum mean threshold to extract when running aggregate covariates

Value

Multiple csv files in the outputDirectory.

Details

The results of the characterization will be saved into an sqlite database inside the specified saveDirectory
