Extract the variables you want from the UKB database and create a CSV dataset.

This function tells RAP to extract the variables you want from the .dataset database file and to create a CSV file within the main RAP project folder. When you want to use the CSV file in your own data analysis project, use rap_copy_from(). You probably don't need to run this function often, probably only once at the start of your project. NOTE: This function takes 5-60 minutes to run on the UKB RAP, so be careful with just randomly running it.

Usage

proj_create_dataset(fields, output_path, database_id = rap_get_database_id())

Arguments

fields

A character vector of field IDs you want to extract from the UKB database. Select the variable ids from the rap_variables dataset.

output_path

The name of the output CSV file.

database_id

The ID of the dataset, found using rap_get_database_id().

Value

Outputs character string of the results from the command sent to RAP.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
proj_create_dataset(
  c("eid", "p31", "p34"),
  proj_create_path_dataset()
)
} # }
