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 reported BMI-for-age percentile into its z-score, the
standard normal deviate below which that percentage of the population
falls, held in AVAL.
Input: reported BMI-for-age percentiles with one record per subject and visit, one of them reported as 100.
Variables:
PARAMCD:BMIZ, the BMI-for-age z-score.AVALwould be the z-score of the reported percentile, and blank when the percentile is blank. A percentile of 100, like one of 0, has no finite z-score, so the run fails while the values are computed and no artifact is accepted.
How to fix
A percentile reported as 100 or 0 is usually a rounded one: the z-score it came from was finite, and the rounding lost it. Prefer deriving the z-score from the measurement and its growth reference, as the percentile itself was derived. If only the percentile is available, state that a percentile at either bound gives no z-score:
derivation:
case:
- when: "PCTL > 0 AND PCTL < 100"
then: "NORM_INV(PCTL / 100)"
- otherwise: null
Do not move a bound to an unstated nearby percentile.
