As a clinical trial statistician or programmer, answer two short questions in Your review: the task and the inputs and outputs. 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: demonstrate the per-record bindings of an aggregation: convert text questionnaire responses to numbers, then sum them.
Input: questionnaire responses with text results (QSORRES)
for the physical functioning scale. Each subject and visit with a
record for the first item (PF01) gets one score record.
Variables:
PARAMCD:PFSCOREon the score record.PARAM: the subscale name.AVAL: the sum of the visit's physical functioning responses, each read as a number. A blank response is left out of the sum; a response that is not a number stops the run.
Note: there is no separate text-to-number step. Declaring each record's response as a decimal number is what converts it, one record at a time, before the sum runs.
