that seems generally correct! two details: 1) would be good to order them by pattern (first missing, then 0s then 1s, for example in each "column" [and can we have them in columns, so that a period takes as much space as a 0 or a 1? for ease or reading/comparison]) 2) presumably in real data there would be more 1s? and in the case of stroke, once you are a 1, you are always a 1.

Yes, These are only the first few rows. There are 319 unique patterns, but sorting may help viewing them.

1) I understand the idea: to be able to compare in columns. I may need to break it into columns to implement. We'll search around.

ampiccinin commented 8 years ago

Let's try sorting first, since it seems like that is easier. OBAS (if that is what we are looking at) has a lot of waves, so all those dots are difficult to view/count, but sorting might reduce the challenge enough that the columns would not be necessary. It would certainly be more compact!

We are looking at MAP here. There are 18 waves of stroke data in this particular subset but we only included the first 3.

If we re-run it using the stroke_cum variable it will address the issue of "once you are a 1, you are always a 1."

Meeting Agenda:

  1. Change the sorting pattern in the dynamic table
  2. Finalize script for easy use
  3. Discuss how to package as a function that can be transferred easily to other data sets
