diseaseRiskPredictorTestHarness

Command line program and test harnesses for the diseaseRiskPredictor package.

This repository contains a number of command line programs associated with the R diseaseRiskPredictor package. These are

• MultifactorialDiseaseRiskCalculator.R
• CategoricalRiskFactorTestHarness.R
• DisFileReaderTestHarness.R
• PedigreeTestHarness.R

Also included are a set of explanatory Word documents, and also some helper R scripts and test case directories.

MultifactorialDiseaseRiskCalculator.R

This is a command line program for predicting multifactorial disease risk. The user supplies

• a disease pedigree / family tree
• a disease model

The progam predicts risk disease for each pedigree member, according to the disease model. The program is an R script, it makes extensive use of the diseaseRiskPredictor package to do this, and provides a template for use of this package.

Test Harnesses

There are three test harness programs used for exercising various aspects of the diseaseRiskPredictor package functionality. These work in the same way, namely there are a set of test cases (valid or invalid). The test harness is applied to each test case in turn. Associated with each test harness is a Word document explaining how to use it.
