Structure of the script

A ConcePTION script is composed by

  • the file to_run.R, that is to be run to execute the script
  • the folder p_parameters, including parameters that are useful for the script
  • the folder p_macro, including functions developed by the ConcePTION Project and collaborators. The functions are sourced in the script, but are available as a package at this link
  • the folder p_steps, including the sequence of steps that execute the script.

Each step is a short R program, that has some input datasets and parameters, and some output datasets. The input datasets of a step are either tables of the CDM, or output datasets from previous steps.
