Review ask

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

Lifecycle: reviewedEditUnder review
What this benchmark means
README.md

Public entries: Python and R. Passing coverage requires an installed inventory.

Goal: build the analysis start date (ASTDT) for each collected adverse event (AE), completing a start recorded without a day.

Input: collected adverse events carrying the reported start (AESTDTC), which is sometimes a year and month with no day and sometimes a year with no month.

Variables:

  • ASTDT would contain the collected start, kept as collected when it is a complete date and otherwise completed with day mid (and month 6 for a year alone).

The day value mid is neither a day number nor one of the two positions every month has, first and last, so the run is rejected before any data is read and no artifact is accepted.

How to fix

Decide where in the month the analysis date should fall, then name a position a calendar fixes or name the day itself. To place a start recorded as a year and month on the first of that month:

impute:
  type: date
  source: AE.AESTDTC
  month: 6
  day: first

A value such as 2023-06 then becomes 2023-06-01. Writing day: last instead gives 2023-06-30, and writing day: 15 names the fifteenth of the collected month directly.
