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: carry the date of birth (BRTHDT) into ADSL and submit it as the
SAS transport file adsl.xpt, in which an analysis date is a SAS date.
Input: one pre-analysis row per subject carrying the collected date of birth; one was entered as 12 June 1498 instead of 1948.
Variables:
BRTHDTis the subject's date of birth as collected.
A SAS date counts days from 1 January 1960, and SAS dates begin on 1 January 1582, so a transport file cannot carry 1498-06-12. Writing any other date in its place would change a recorded value, so the submission is rejected before any file is written.
How to fix
Query the site and correct the year at the source, then build the dataset again:
