Example 5: Vital Signs Table

The fifth example produces a summary table of selected Vital Signs for Placebo vs. Treated groups. The report shows statistics for both baseline and after-treatment time points. This example also demonstrates how to use tidyverse functions for data preparation instead of procs.

Program

Note the following about this example:

library(tidyverse)
library(sassy)

        "logr.notes" = FALSE)

# Get path to temp directory

# Create libname for csv data
