sdtmval - Validate SDTM Domains
Provides a set of tools to assist statistical programmers
in validating Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) domain data
sets. Statistical programmers are required to validate that a
SDTM data set domain has been programmed correctly, per the
SDTM Implementation Guide (SDTMIG) by 'CDISC'
(<https://www.cdisc.org/standards/foundational/sdtmig>), study
specification, and study protocol using a process called double
programming. Double programming involves two different
programmers independently converting the raw electronic data
cut (EDC) data into a SDTM domain data table and comparing
their results to ensure accurate standardization of the data.
One of these attempts is termed 'production' and the other
'validation'. Generally, production runs are the official
programs for submittals and these are written in 'SAS'.
Validation runs can be programmed in another language, in this
case 'R'.
