title: 'lineager: Row-Level Data Provenance and Exclusion Tracking'
version: 0.1.1.9000
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.lineager
abstract: 'Provides row-level data provenance tracking for analytical pipelines. Tags
  datasets with unique lineage identifiers that persist through filter, join, and
  derive operations. Requires documented reasons for every row exclusion, capturing
  who was removed, why, and at which pipeline stage. Variable derivations are registered
  as structured specifications linking output variables back to their source. Any
  row in any downstream dataset can be traced back to its origin via lg_trace(). Generates
  structured HTML provenance reports suitable for regulatory submissions, internal
  audit, or analytical documentation. General-purpose: works for clinical data, machine
  learning pipelines, financial modelling, epidemiology, or any workflow where row-level
  accountability matters. Optional features support pharmaceutical users including
  population flag definitions, source-to-analysis variable mapping, and Reviewer''s
  Guide-aligned report output. Complements the ''regulog'' package for tamper-evident
  session-level audit logging. For more details see <https://reprostats.org/lineager/>.'
