Introduction to ards

An Analysis Results Dataset (ARDS) is commonly used in the pharma-biotech industry to capture the results of an analysis in a tabular data structure. The ards package helps create the ARDS. ards functions can be called from inside a report program or a data preparation program. The functions use a “bucketing” approach, whereby data can be added to the ARDS in multiple calls and from multiple intermediate data sets.

The ards package can be installed from the console. Simply run the following command:

install.packages("ards")

Or if you want the latest development version, you can install it directly from github:
