As a clinical trial statistician or programmer, answer two short questions in Your review: the task and the inputs. Agreeing with both approves this benchmark; disagreeing with either needs a comment. Propose a fix with the Edit button on any source file, or add it to your comments.
We suggest spending no more than 5 minutes on a review. The other tabs beside Your review are background for assessment, not under review.
Summary
README.mdPublic entries: Python and R. Passing coverage requires an installed inventory.
Goal: turn each collected visit's blood pressure into one systolic and
one diastolic analysis record, number each subject's visits in AVISITN,
and flag the records of the subject's first visit in ABLFL.
Input: collected vital signs with one record per subject and visit,
carrying the visit date (VSDTC) and the systolic (SYSBP) and diastolic
(DIABP) blood pressure.
Variables:
PARAMCDwould beSYSBPon the systolic record andDIABPon the diastolic record of each visit.AVISITNwould number each subject's visits from 1 in date order; the two records of one visit share its number.ADTwould be the visit date.AVALwould be the systolic or diastolic blood pressure the record names; missing when the visit did not collect it.ABLFLwould beYon the records of the subject's first visit, which this study takes as baseline, and blank on every other record.
Note: visits are numbered only after every analysis record has been built, so the visit number is available only to values listed after it, exactly like any other value. The baseline flag is listed before the visit number it reads, so the run is rejected before any data is read and no artifact is accepted.
How to fix
List AVISITN before ABLFL, so the flag reads a visit number that has
already been counted:

type: int

method: dense
window:
