Create random CDISC data

insightsengineering.github.io/random.cdisc.data ↗

Synthetic CDISC data generation that has been quiet since early 2024.

cdiscsynthetic-dataclinical-trialstest-fixturesmaintenance
◆Current state
random.cdisc.data generates synthetic CDISC-format clinical trial datasets, used across the insightsengineering and teal packages as test and demo data. The last substantive release, 0.3.15 in March 2024, made cached-data rebuilds incremental and corrected an ETHNIC factor level. Everything older in this feed is release automation.
◆Where it's heading
Activity has thinned to one real release in the visible window, surrounded by version bumps and workflow propagation. The 0.3.15 work is maintenance-shaped — dependency floors, a data typo, faster vignette rebuilds — which is what a fixture package looks like once downstream packages depend on its output staying unchanged.
◆Prediction
Further releases are likely to stay corrective, since the package's value to teal and tern depends on its generated datasets remaining stable rather than growing.

    Incremental cached-data rebuilds and an ETHNIC level fix

    0.3.15 makes the cached-data vignette rebuild only what actually changed upstream, corrects a leading space in the ETHNIC level " NOT REPORTED", and pins minimum dependency versions. For a package whose job is emitting stable fixtures, the level fix is the part downstream tests will notice.

    TESTING_DEPTH sets added (duplicate pre-release tag)

    The same TESTING_DEPTH change as the preceding entry, published the same day under a release-candidate tag — a duplicate of one change, not two separate releases.
