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: build the analysis values of systolic blood pressure, AVAL, at
each visit and as each subject's average, with PARAMCD, AVISIT and
DTYPE, describing the observed and the averaged values apart.
Input: the subjects' systolic blood pressure, one row per subject per visit.
Variables:
PARAMCDisSYSBP, systolic blood pressure.AVISITis the visit of an observed value, andOVERALLfor an average.DTYPEisAVERAGEon a subject's average, and empty on an observed value.AVALis the observed value, or the mean of the subject's observed values over all visits.
Note: the observed values are described as the rows whose DTYPE is
none of a list of values, but the list holds one value. A comparison against
one value is written as inequality, so the description is rejected before any
data is read.
How to fix
Select the rows whose derivation type is anything but AVERAGE with NE,
which takes exactly one value:
where: {DTYPE: {comparator: NE, values: [AVERAGE]}}
Keep NOTIN for two or more values, such as [AVERAGE, LOCF] when the
dataset also carries values carried forward.
