Abstract

DataCheQC is an interactive application based on the R Shiny framework developed for the purposes of performing quality control (QC) checks on pharmacometric datasets, and thereby supporting the implementation of model-informed drug development. Features include visual inspection of variables and data entries for errors and/or anomalies, and ensuring structural integrity through comparison with a dataset specification file. The app, which requires no programming knowledge to operate, allows the user to collect all findings into a summary report downloadable directly from the app itself. The source code for the app is freely available on GitHub under an open-source license (https://github.com/DotanOr/DataCheQC) and can also be accessed online (https://dotanor.shinyapps.io/DataCheQC/).
