# sendigR

<a href="https://github.com/phuse-org/sendigR"><img src="man/figures/logo.png" alt="sendigR logo" align="right" /></a>

The purpose of the `sendigR` package is to extract control data from a
set of nonclinical studies stored in [CDISC
SEND](https://www.cdisc.org/standards/foundational/send) format in a
database to be used for cross study analysis.

`sendigR` includes:


-   Functions to construct a relational database from any collection of
    SEND datasets;

-   functions to query control data from database;

-   An R Shiny application with a graphical user interface for
    facilitating cross-study analysis. [Demo App can be found here.](https://phuse-org.shinyapps.io/sendigR/)

-   An optional Python package (xptclearner) to harmonize SEND datasets
    using SEND controlled terminology and extensible terminology;

Familiarity with the CDISC SEND data model and at least basic knowledge
about animal studies is necessary to use the package.

## Step by Step Installation

#### Installation of R and RStudio

R version 4.1.2 and above are used in developing and testing the
`sendigR`.

#### Installation of Python and xptcleaner (optional)

Python version 3.9.6 and above are used in developing and testing the
xptcleaner of `sendigR`. This is an optional component, you can skip
this step if you will not use the xptcleaner to clean the xpt files.
