Interoperability
Interoperability between members of the pharmacometric team was essential to divide the work with the short timelines. The pharmacometric processing script was stored in a private Github repository where multiple coders could work simultaneously. Through Github, changes to parts of the script by team members could be reviewed and incorporated into an updated version, all while tracking these changes and being able to revert to an earlier version in case of debugging. Additionally, the file structure between pharmacometricians was standardized, so only the path to the working directory needed to be changed relative to which all other files were inputted or outputted. The path to the working directory was automatically called at the start of the script based on an if-statement with the system’s info of the user’s machine (Fig. Interoperability through standardized file structure and automatic extraction of working directory using the system’s info. The ifelse() statement can be expanded with nested ifelse() statement for more collaborators.
