Timing, Anatomical, Therapeutic and Chemical Based Medication Clustering.
tame is an R package that implements an agglomerative hierarchical clustering with a bespoke distance measure based on medication similarities in the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, medication timing and medication amount or dosage. Tools for summarizing, illustrating and manipulating the cluster objects are also available.
install.package("tame")
Use medic to cluster medication data with ATC codes and dosage trajectories.
library(tame)
# A simple clustering based only on ATC
clust <- medic(complications, id = id, atc = atc, k = 3)
# A simple clustering with both ATC and timing
clust <- medic(
complications,
id = id,
atc = atc,
timing = first_trimester:third_trimester,
k = 3
)
