Abstract: Summary: dsSwissKnife is an R package that enables several powerful analyses to be performed on federated datasets. The package works alongside DataSHIELD and extends its functionality. We have developed and implemented dsSwissKnife in a large IMI project on type 2 diabetes, RHAPSODY, where data from 10 observational cohorts have been harmonised and federated in CDISC SDTM format and made available for biomarker discovery. Availability and implementation: dsSwissKnife is freely available online at https://github.com/sib-swiss/dsSwissKnife. The package is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 and is accompanied by example files and data. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info
