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: submit DM with the investigator's name in a SAS transport file.
Input: one row per subject carrying the site, age, sex and investigator name, one of which is spelled with accented letters.
Variables:
SITEID,AGEandSEXare as collected.INVNAMis the investigator's name as collected.
Note: a submitted text value is printable ASCII, so the value with an accented letter stops the submission instead of being altered.
How to fix
Correct the name in the collected data to its ASCII spelling, as the investigator agrees it should be submitted, and keep the accented spelling outside the submission. Alternatively map the collected spelling explicitly:
derivation:
mapping:
source: DM_RAW.INVNAM
dict: investigator_names.yaml
