US FDA FAERS Drug Adverse Event Dataset Processed as Relational CSV

<p>WARNING: This is an early attempt at processing a large dataset, and I have not yet completely validated the processing scripts or the resulting CSV files.</p> <p>This is a compressed archive of the US FDA FAERS Drug Averse Event database, obtained from open.fda.gov (https://open.fda.gov) and processed with scripts that I wrote (https://github.com/dbuijs/faers2csv) to convert the 100 GB of JSON files into relational CSV that take up approximately 6 GB of space and are suitable for loading into a relational database such as PostgreSQL.&nbsp;</p> <p>This version of the data was processed on January 29, 2016.&nbsp;</p> <p>faerscsv.tar.bz2 expands into a folder called csv, with 4 relational CSV files for each source JSON file.</p> <p>faerstats.tar.bz2 expands into a folder called stats, with a text file for each CSV file containing summary statistics generated by csvstat (Python CSVkit).</p>
