This example shows the definition of a simple analysis method that contains only 1 operation. This method could be used to calculate the number of subjects in each treatment group for any analysis set. The results of the analyses that use this method could then by referenced as the denominator by other defined "percent of subjects" operations.
YAML Example
methods:
- id: Mth01_CatVar_Count_ByGrp
name: Count by group for a categorical variable
description: Count across groups for a categorical variable, based on subject occurrence
label: Grouped count for categorical variable
operations:
- id: Mth01_CatVar_Count_ByGrp_1_n
name: Count of subjects
label: n
order: 1
resultPattern: (N=XX)
...
This analysis method could be represented in tabular form as shown in the following table where the column names for attributes of the Operation class include the prefix, "operation_":
