derive_param_tte() where argument dataset populated and PARAMCD in set_values_to argument is an expression. Previously, there was a check early in function to see if PARAMCD defined in set_values_to argument, already existed in the dataset passed into dataset argument. If PARAMCD was not an expression i.e. PARAMCD = "XYZ" then check worked. However, if PARAMCD to be created was an expression, and wasn’t resolved yet, this caused an ERROR. The check has been moved to near the end of the function, where PARAMCD is resolved in the dataset holding the new parameters. (#2336)derive_vars_query() where if AE terms were in mixed case no terms are flagged. (#2311)The new function derive_vars_extreme_event(), which works as derive_extreme_event() but adds variables instead of a parameter. (#2138)
The new function derive_var_merged_ef_msrc() is provided to add a flag indicating if one of the conditions in one of multiple source datasets is fulfilled. (#1728)
New global option created signif_digits and added to set_admiral_options() to handle floating point issue, the value is set to 15, and is used with the base R function signif() when comparing 2 numeric values. This is implemented in admiral functions derive_var_atoxgr_dir() and derive_var_anrind(). (#2134)
For more information, please see blog: How admiral handles floating points
The new function derive_vars_computed() is provided which has the same functionality as derive_param_computed() but instead of adding the computed values as a new parameter, adds it as a new variable. (#2178)
Fixed a bug in compute_tmf() where the time imputation flag was being incorrectly populated when any of the existing time components (hour, minute and/or second) of the date character vector ('--DTC'), was imputed. (#2146)
derive_extreme_records(), derive_var_extreme_flag(),derive_vars_joined() and derive_vars_merged() were enhanced with the arguments true_value and false_value to align with preexisting functions that had similar functionality. (#2125)
restrict_derivation() now allows {dplyr} functions like mutate() in the derivation argument. (#2143)
derive_summary_records(), derive_var_merged_summary(), and get_summary_records() were enhanced such that more than one summary variable can be derived, e.g., AVAL as the sum and ADT as the maximum of the contributing records. (#1792)
derive_summary_records() was enhanced with the following arguments: dataset_add (required), dataset_ref (optional), missing_values (optional). These arguments respectively, generate summary variables from additional datasets, retain/add specific records from a reference dataset, and impute user-defined missing values. Note that dataset_add can be set to the same value as dataset if a different additional dataset is not required. derive_param_exposure() was enhanced with dataset_add as well. (#2142)
The missing_values argument was added to derive_var_merged_summary(). It allows to define values for by groups, e.g., subjects which are not in the additional dataset. (#2230)
The argument dataset is now optional for derive_summary_records() and derive_param_exposure(). (#2142)
derive_vars_joined(), derive_var_joined_exist_flag(), filter_joined(), and event_joined()) were unified: (#2126)
dataset_add and filter_add arguments were added to derive_var_joined_exist_flag() and filter_joined().filter argument was renamed to filter_join in derive_var_joined_exist_flag() and filter_joined().tmp_obs_nr_var, the join_type, the first_cond_lower, and the first_cond_upper arguments were added to derive_vars_joined().derive_var_joined_exist_flag(), filter_joined(), and event_joined() the first_cond argument was renamed to first_cond_upper and the first_cond_lower argument was added.filter_add argument is applied to the additional dataset grouped by by_vars and the filter_join argument is applied to the joined dataset grouped by the observations from the input dataset. I.e., summary functions like all() or any() can be used.The tmp_event_nr_var argument was added to derive_extreme_records() to allow more control of the selection of records. It creates a temporary variable for the event number, which can be used in order. (#2140)
signif_dig argument added to both derive_var_atoxgr_dir() and derive_var_anrind() functions with default value set to general option signif_digits. The new argument to these functions handles any floating point issues. (#2134)
Fixed a bug in derive_vars_period() where the function was throwing an error whenever dataset_ref contained variables that were neither key variables, nor APERIOD, ASPER, APHASEN, nor mentioned in the new_vars argument. (#2231)
compute_duration(), derive_vars_duration(), derive_vars_aage() now accepts more terms for the in_unit, out_unit, and age_unit arguments (#2255)
Updated the unit test for derive_var_obs_number(). The new test checked the derivation of the default and customized new_var, sorting with the the missing value and expected conditions. (#2260)
The check for existence of TERMNUM/TERMCHAR in queries dataset is now less strict depending on values of SRCVAR for derive_vars_query() (#2264)
DAIDS grading criteria fixed for Grade = 0 for TERM = "Absolute Lymphocyte Count, Low", criteria was AVAL <= 0.65, now corrected to AVAL >= 0.65 (#2284).
A bug in derive_extreme_event() was fixed. The condition field is no longer ignored if mode is specified for event() (#2291).

In derive_extreme_event(), the ignore_event_order argument was deprecated and the selection of the records was changed to allow more control. Before, the records were selected first by event and then by order. Now they are selected by order only, but the event number can be added to it.
To achieve the old behavior update
order = exprs(my_order_var),
ignore_event_order = FALSE,to
tmp_event_nr_var = event_nr,
order = exprs(event_nr, my_order_var),and
order = exprs(my_order_var),
ignore_event_order = TRUE,to
order = exprs(my_order_var),create_query_data() and derive_vars_query() were updated to rename variables in query data set as follows: (#2186)

derive_var_dthcaus() where if a subject has observations in more than one of the sources, the one from the last source was selected regardless of the date. Now the function works as described in its documentation. (#2154)derive_param_computed() was modified in anticipation of major user-facing changes to R version 4.4 (#2147)derive_extreme_records() no longer fails if dataset_add is specified and a variable specified for order is not in dataset. (#2113)
The type argument in compute_duration() changed the underlying default behavior in derive_vars_duration() without allowing the user to toggle between "duration" and "interval" as originally intended. This was fixed by adding the type argument for derive_vars_duration() and a wrapper function derive_vars_aage() such that it gets passed through compute_duration() appropriately (#2112)
Template ad_adpp.R updated to replace left_join() with derive_vars_merged() (#2109).

(#2001) The argument unit for derive_vars_aage() is also changed to age_unit for consistency between these age-related functions. (#2025)The derive_var_ontrtfl() function has been updated to allow for the column passed in ref_end_date to contain NA values. Previously, if the end date was NA, the row would never be flagged. Now, an NA value is interpreted as the treatment being ongoing, for example. (#1984)
The function derive_var_extreme_flag() has a new function argument, flag_all that additionally flags all records if the first or last record is not unique. (#1979)

The traceability_vars argument in date_source() and dthcaus_source were deprecated in favor of set_values_to. The date_source() function creates a date_source object as input for derive_var_extreme_dt() and derive_var_extreme_dtm(),users can now define the traceability variables by assigning those variables to the set_values_toargument.Similarly, the dthcaus_source creates a dthcaus_source Object. (#2068)
derive_extreme_event() was enhanced (#1960):
event_joined() events can be specified for the events argument. This allows to define events based on more than one observation, e.g., events which need to be confirmed by a second assessment.
The source_datasets argument was added to the function and the dataset_name field to event(). It can be used to define events based on a different dataset than the input dataset.
The keep_source_vars argument was added to the function and the keep_source_vars field to event(). It allows to select which variables should be kept for the selected observations.
The mode and order field were added to event(). They allow to select the first or last observation per by group if there are multiple observation fulfilling the event condition.
The ignore_event_order argument was added.
The description field was added to event(). It can be used to provide a description of the event in plain language.
derive_var_atoxgr_dir() was enhanced (#1859):

Updated PK Programming vignette to include new Population PK Template ad_adppk.R. (#1772)
Updated “Lab Grading” Vignette to link to grading metadata available in {admiral} and clarify how abnormal baseline values are assigned in NCI-CTCAEv5. (#1863)
Updated “Visit and Period Variables” Vignette to add more detail about Study Specific Code that is required. (#1831)
Increased documentation for those functions which are regarded as wrapper functions. (#1726)
Examples in function documentation no longer rely on library(admiral.test). (#1752)
Conferences where {admiral} was presented were updated on the README.md. (#1890)
vars() which was used in the admiral function calls that expected a list of quosures has been removed. The admiral option force_admiral_vars was removed as well. (#1694)
derive_vars_dtm() and derive_vars_dt() had a bug pertaining to imputations associated with supplying both min_dates and max_dates that has now been resolved. (#1843)
Examples for derive_var_extreme_flag() were reworked to reduce runtime that occasionally led to failing CI check. (#1780)
create_period_dataset() had a bug that led to an error when both DT and DTM columns existed. (#1845)
External functions are now consistently imported via namespace. package::function() calls have been removed from admiral functions. (#1842)
restrict_derivation() had a bug which led to failure if the derivation argument was not in the global environment. (#1765)
derive_vars_dtm() and derive_vars_dt() that were too restrictive. (#1810)Using {testthat} 3rd edition for unit testing. This is stricter in that messages must be addressed and deprecated functions throw errors. (#1754)
New function consolidate_metadata() for consolidating multiple meta datasets into a single one. (#1479)
New function compute_scale() for computing the average of a vector and transforming the result from a source to a target range. (#1692)
New ADPC template script available ad_adpc.R which creates PK Concentration Analysis Dataset (#849). This script includes formatting suitable for Non-Compartmental Analysis (ADNCA). (#851)
New function derive_expected_records() for adding expected records. (#1729)
New function derive_extreme_event() for adding the worst or best observation for each by group as new records. (#1755)
Arguments analysis_var, keep_vars were added to derive_locf_records(),
analysis_var allows to specify analysis variable, keep_vars keeps variables that need carrying the last observation forward other than analysis_var (e.g., PARAMN, VISITNUM). (#1636)
The function create_single_dose_dataset() adds support for expanding relative nominal time (e.g. NFRLT) used in Pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses. The new parameter nominal_time defaults as NULL and does not change the normal operation of the function. If a nominal_time is specified such as NFRLT (Nominal Relative Time from First Dose) then the nominal time is incremented by the interval specified in EXDOSFRQ for example for “QD” records the NFRLT is incremented by 24 hours, e.g. 0, 24, 48… (#1640)
create_single_dose_dataset() is also updated for values of EXDOSFRQ with units in days but expected values less than 24 hours, such as “BID”, “TID”, and “QID”. Previously these values of EXDOSFRQ may result in duplicate records where the day values are incremented but the time values are not. (#1643)
The function derive_var_confirmation_flag() and filter_confirmation() gained the tmp_obs_nr_var argument. It helps flagging or selecting consecutive observations or the first or last observation in a by group. (#1724)

The units “min” and “sec” are added as valid values of out_unit in compute_duration() and derive_vars_duration(). (#1647)
The function derive_vars_query() now includes a consistency check for QUERY_SCOPE and QUERY_SCOPE_NUM values. (#652)
Argument new_var in derive_param_extreme_event() is made optional. (#1630)
derive_vars_last_dose() no longer fails if USUBJID is not included in the input dataset. (#1787)
All function arguments which expected a list of quosures created by vars() are now expecting a list of expressions created by exprs(). For example, instead of by_vars = vars(STUDYID, USUBJID) by_vars = exprs(STUDYID, USUBJID) must be used now.
To enable running old scripts using vars() in the admiral function calls admiral redefines the vars() function such that it returns a list of expressions. This can be disabled by the admiral option force_admiral_vars (see set_admiral_options()). Please note that this is a temporary solution and will be removed in a future admiral release. (#1627)
Function derive_param_tte() has been updated such that only observations are added for subjects who have both an event or censoring and an observation in dataset_adsl. (#1576)
Function derive_var_disposition_status() has been deprecated, please use derive_var_merged_cat() instead. (#1681)
Function derive_var_worst_flag() has been deprecated, in favor of slice_derivation()/derive_var_extreme_flag(). (#1682)

derive_vars_dtm() and derive_vars_dt() had a bug pertaining to imputations associated with NA values that has now been fixed. (#1646)if_else() from the release of dplyr version 1.1.0, which affects derive_vars_dtm() and and compute_tmf(). (#1641)The new function derive_vars_joined() adds variables from an additional dataset. The selection of the observations can depend on variables from both datasets. This can be used for adding AVISIT, AWLO, AWHI based on time windows and ADY or deriving the lowest value (nadir) before the current observation. (#1448)

New function convert_na_to_blanks() to convert character NA to blanks. (#1624)
Function derive_param_first_event() has been replaced by a more generalized derive_param_extreme_event() function with new argument mode allowing for the selection of either the "first" or "last" event record according to the conditions provided. Also the date_var argument has been replaced with the order argument instead. In addition, three new arguments new_var, true_value, and false_value have been added to allow the user to choose what variable is used to indicate whether an event happened, and the values it is given. (#1317, #1242)
Argument ignore_time_for_ref_end_date was added to derive_var_ontrtfl(), which controls if time is considered for the condition if start_date is after ref_end_date + ref_end_window days. (#989)
derive_var_atoxgr_dir() default value of atoxgr_criteria_ctcv4 removed for parameter meta_criteria. Can now also choose atoxgr_criteria_ctcv5 for parameter meta_criteria, to implement NCI-CTCAEv5 grading criteria.
Environment objects were consolidated into a single admiral_environment object under R/admiral__environment.R. (#1572)
The default value of the keep_source_vars argument in create_single_dose_dataset() was updated such that it takes the values of the other arguments into account and the start_datetime and end_datetime arguments are optional now. (#1598)
Function create_query_data() has been updated such that the dictionary version is stored in the output dataset. (#1337)
Function derive_param_first_event() has been deprecated. Please use derive_param_extreme_event() with the order argument instead of the date_var argument. (#1317)

The imputation functions (derive_vars_dtm(), derive_vars_dt(), convert_dtc_to_dtm(), convert_dtc_to_dt()) have been enhanced to address users feedback (#1300):
Partial dates with missing components in the middle like "2003-12-15T-:15:18", "2003-12-15T13:-:19", "2020-07--T00:00" are handled now.
The control of the level of imputation has been refined by adding the highest_imputation argument. For example, highest_imputation = "D" requests imputation for day and time but not for year and month.
(For the date_imputation and the time_imputation argument NULL is no longer a permitted value.)
It is now possible to impute completely missing dates by specifying highest_imputation = "Y" and the min_dates or max_dates argument.
order parameter added to dthcaus_source() which allows an additional character vector to be used for sorting the dataset, derive_vars_dthcaus() updated to process additional parameter (#1125).
create_single_dose_dataset() Fixed bug where ASTDTM and AENDTM were not updated when start_date = ASTDT and end_date = AENDT.

derive_var_agegr_ema() and derive_var_agegr_fda() have been deprecated (#1333)
Imputation related arguments have been deprecated for all functions except the imputation functions themselves (#1299). I.e., if a derivation like last known alive date is based on dates, DTC variables have to be converted to numeric date or datetime variables in a preprocessing step. For examples see the ADSL vignette. The following arguments were deprecated:
date_imputation, time_imputation, and preserve in date_source()The following arguments no longer accept DTC variables:
date in date_source(), dthcaus_source(), censor_source(), and event_source()dose_date and analysis_date in derive_vars_last_dose(), derive_var_last_dose_amt(), derive_var_last_dose_date(), derive_var_last_dose_grp()The following functions were deprecated:
derive_vars_merged_dt()derive_vars_merged_dtm()For the date_imputation and the time_imputation argument of the imputation functions (derive_vars_dtm(), derive_vars_dt(), convert_dtc_to_dtm(), convert_dtc_to_dt()) NULL is no longer a permitted value. The level of imputation can be controlled by the highest_imputation argument now.
The following functions, which were deprecated in previous {admiral} versions, have been removed:
derive_var_disposition_dt()derive_var_lstalvdt()lstalvdt_source()derive_var_trtedtm()derive_var_trtsdtm()The following functions and parameters, which were deprecated in previous {admiral} versions, are now defunct and will output an ERROR if used:

derive_vars_duration() updated to not display units when there is missing duration (#1207)
derive_param_first_event() was updated (#1214) such that
AVAL is derived instead of AVALN andcreate_single_dose_dataset() Fixed bug where ASTDTM and AENDTM were not updated when start_date=ASTDT and end_date=AENDT. The function has been amended to now require start_datetime and end_datetime parameters in addition to start_date and end_date.The keep_source_vars has been added to specify the variables to be retained from the source dataset.
slice_derivation() was updated such that it no longer fails if a slice is empty (#1309)

When derive_vars_dtm_to_tm() was called for variables created by derive_vars_dtm() the function failed. This bug was fixed (#1097).
impute_dtc() - Fixed imputation bug. A user setting date_imputation = MID and preserve = FALSE would expect the date 2019---07 to be imputed to 2019-06-30, but the function was returning 2019-06-15. Now returns it correctly. This bug fix also addresses the issue in the downstream functions derive_vars_dt() and derive_vars_dtm(). (#1081)
format_eoxxstt_default() - Updated to have a more meaningful parameter name i.e. the parameter that was x is now status (#911)
derive_var_lstalvdt() has been deprecated in favor of derive_var_extreme_dt() (#753).derive_vars_disposition_reason() now is updated such that the default is populating DCSREASP only when DSDECOD is equal to 'OTHER', which is consistent with ADaMIG_v1.3 (#886).derive_vars_suppqual() has been removed from {admiral} as adding supplementary qualifiers is now done in another package called {metatools} in a function called combine_supp() and is available on CRAN (#950)

The behavior of all functions providing the date_imputation parameter, e.g., derive_vars_dtm() and derive_vars_dt(), has changed for date_imputation = "mid". Before the date was imputed as June 15th if both month and day were missing. Now it is imputed as June 30th. For the old behavior please specify date_imputation = "06-15". Please note the behavior has not changed if only the day is missing. In this case the day is imputed as 15 (#592)
