title: 'cohort: Build Analytic Cohorts with Full Provenance'
version: 2026.8.21
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.cohort
abstract: 'A framework for building analytic cohorts with full provenance. Supports
  branched cohort trees, per-step exclusion logging with human-readable reasons, schema
  validation at branch boundaries, cached derived artifacts on each cohort, and CONSORT
  diagram generation. The framework cleanly separates cohort definition from analysis:
  it produces analytic data tables that downstream packages can consume. A shared-base
  storage strategy keeps memory flat as the cohort tree grows.'
