OK, I think this becomes a question for @ndh2 . I can find transition state daily X in Results_DailybyProductionType. However, we can't use those fields to calculate transition state cumulative, as a unit would get counted multiple times if it stayed in a disease state more than one day, which is likely.
How was this done for NAADSM? I can see there is a definition for transition state cumulative X in the field definitions.
Next part of this, all transition state daily need to be removed from the summary report, regardless of getting transition state cumulative in the right place.
@missyschoenbaum Is getting counted multiple times bad? I guess it depends on the intended meaning of the variable. If this variable is like person-hours for work then it makes sense: like if 1 person works 3 hours and another works 5 hours, that's 8-person hours spent working. Same with this, if 1 unit spends 3 days clinical and another spends 5 days clinical, that's 8 unit-days spent in the clinical state. What meaning do you want from this variable?
@ndh2 Either way we go, it will be hard to describe what we have intended. It's possible for the user to sum all the records if they want the unit-days. Let's not worry about putting any transition state variables into the summary. I think that sends this back to @BryanHurst to simply removing the fields in the summary.
Looks great!
The transition state daily fields are showing up in the summary report. Can we remove those? They don't make sense. I think we need transition state cumulative there instead, but I need to dig around on that. I didn't want to forget this. Don't take action until I update.
