Motivation
To use and combine health economic model modules it is first useful to find modules that have been developed using a common framework that promotes inter-operability.
Implementation
A table summarising currently available module libraries authored
with the ready4 framework
within a specified GitHub organisation can be retrieved from an online
dataset by using the get_libraries_tb and
update_libraries_tb functions.
Use
In the below example we will search for modules from the readyforwhatsnext model. The
source code for these modules all reside in the ready4-dev GitHub repository.
The value supplied to the gh_repo_1L_chr argument specifies
the repository in which a dataset of readyforwhatsnext module libraries
is stored.
libraries_tb <- get_libraries_tb(gh_repo_1L_chr = "ready4-dev/ready4") %>% update_libraries_tb(include_1L_chr = "modules", url_stub_1L_chr = "https://ready4-dev.github.io/")## ⠙ 10 items, page 1 | 3msIn this example, module libraries have been grouped in to the following thematic model “sections”.
## [1] "People" "Programs"We can use the print_packages function to display a HTML
summary of the module libraries currently available for each section.
The resulting table summarises the types of module library (e.g. those
for description, developing models or predicting with models), the name
and purpose of those libraries, the locations from which development and
archived library code can be downloaded and details of supporting
documentation for each library (e.g. website, manuals and examples).
