Summary
EditUnder reviewWhat this benchmark meansREADME.mdPublic entries: Python and R. Passing coverage requires an installed inventory.
Goal: submit DM with the investigator's name in a SAS transport file.
Input: a Parquet export with one row per subject carrying the site, age, sex and investigator name; the export stores an unanswered name as an empty string, and the input reads it as a present value.
Variables:
SITEID,AGEandSEXare as collected.INVNAMis the investigator's name; empty for the unanswered one.
Note: a SAS transport file cannot tell an empty string from a missing value, so the present empty value stops the submission instead of turning into a missing one.
How to fix
Decide that an unanswered name is missing, which is how SDTM submits it, and
read the stored empty string that way. missing is the default, so remove
the declaration:
input:
DM_RAW: input/dm_raw.parquet
