rbmiUtils
extends the functionality of rbmi
to support more streamlined workflows for multiple imputation in clinical trials. It is designed to simplify key tasks such as analysis execution, pooling, result tidying, and imputed data handling.
You can install the development version of rbmiUtils
from cran or GitHub:
install.packages("rbmiUtils")
Development GitHub remotes::install_github("openpharma/rbmiUtils")
This example shows how to run a covariate-adjusted ANCOVA on imputed datasets using Bayesian multiple imputation:
library(dplyr) library(rbmi) library(rbmiUtils) data("ADMI") # Setup N_IMPUTATIONS <- 100 WARMUP <- 200 THIN <- 5 # Preprocessing ADMI <- ADMI %>% mutate( TRT = factor(TRT, levels = c("Placebo", "Drug A")), USUBJID = factor(USUBJID), AVISIT = factor(AVISIT) ) # Define analysis variables vars <- set_vars( subjid = "USUBJID", visit = "AVISIT", group = "TRT", outcome = "CHG", covariates = c("BASE", "STRATA", "REGION") ) # Specify imputation method method <- rbmi::method_bayes( n_samples = N_IMPUTATIONS, control = rbmi::control_bayes( warmup = WARMUP, thin = THIN ) ) # Run analysis ana_obj <- analyse_mi_data( data = ADMI, vars = vars, method = method, fun = ancova ) # Pool results and tidy pool_obj <- pool(ana_obj) tidy_df <- tidy_pool_obj(pool_obj) # View results print(tidy_df) #> # A tibble: 6 × 10 #> parameter description visit parameter_type lsm_type est se lci #> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> #> 1 trt_Week 24 Treatment … Week… trt <NA> -2.17 0.182 -2.53 #> 2 lsm_ref_Week 24 Least Squa… Week… lsm ref 0.0782 0.131 -0.179 #> 3 lsm_alt_Week 24 Least Squa… Week… lsm alt -2.09 0.126 -2.34 #> 4 trt_Week 48 Treatment … Week… trt <NA> -3.81 0.256 -4.31 #> 5 lsm_ref_Week 48 Least Squa… Week… lsm ref 0.0481 0.185 -0.316 #> 6 lsm_alt_Week 48 Least Squa… Week… lsm alt -3.76 0.176 -4.11 #> # ℹ 2 more variables: uci <dbl>, pval <dbl>
The package includes two example datasets for demonstrating imputation and analysis:
ADEFF
: An example efficacy dataset for with missing data.ADMI
: A large multiple imputation dataset with 100,000 rows and multiple visits, treatment arms, and stratification variables.Use ?ADEFF
and ?ADMI
to view full dataset documentation.
Key exported functions include:
analyse_mi_data()
: Applies an analysis function (e.g., ANCOVA) to all imputed datasets.tidy_pool_obj()
: Tidies and annotates pooled results for reporting.get_imputed_data()
: Extracts long-format imputed datasets with original subject IDs mapped.These utilities wrap standard rbmi
workflows for improved reproducibility and interpretability.
This package is experimental and under active development. Feedback and contributions are welcome via GitHub issues or pull requests.
