Thanks for useful questions. Some I can answer now, some need more attention.
2) The targets are coming directly from this database view shipping.presence_absence_result_v1
, which reflects the taqman array. That only has Flu_B_pan
for example. If/when you derive more specific strains from sequencing, I'll need a database view with that info to merge with the encounter database. Also, all
refers to all samples, including negatives.
3) I can provide standardized list. In prototyping, mode
is better behaved mathematically with smaller samples, and so please build around mode
for the time being.
4-6) Yes, eventually, depending on how many layers deep we want to go. Right now, I'm just building some subsets because of memory limitations. Addressing this fits "before end of September" timeline for us, but I'll be able to think about it more next week in prep for Ad Board meeting, and so will get back to you with more useful comments then.
Thanks for the quick response, Mike. I did not realize that the targets are coming directly from shipping.presence_absence_result_v1
. That is useful to know. I look forward to future discussions to elucidate how the moving pieces work together between ID3C (the Bedford lab) & IDM.
I don't think there's any rush in expanding the API. Brainstorming API design some time between the Ad Board meeting and the end of September should work for our timeline. I'll reach out if anything changes.
Re: target vs. organism: we only relatively recently mapped targets to organisms in ID3C. This is important as targets change and vary but detect the same pathogen. It also helps us roll up targets by a less-specific organism classification. So, at some point we should be shipping organism lineage in the modeling observation views instead of targets, and then the models can use them. List of those lineages is here: https://backoffice.seattleflu.org/metabase/question/292
Hey all,
Thanks for the work you've done so far in creating/hosting the modelling results API + the swagger interface for us to use.
Now that we're finally coming around to using it, I have a few questions/ideas I thought you may be able to help with.
Language of pathogens. These do not currently align with our target/organism definitions. Where can I see a list of all possible pathogens? Examples
I can match your
Flu_A_H1
with our target name pretty easily, but other names are harder to interpret/match with your dataset. For example, I don't see any organism-levelpathogen
for Flu B/Vic or Flu B/Yam, justFlu_B_pan
.Does the
all
pathogen refer to any pathogen? Or does it refer to all samples including negative, untested, and unknown?modeled_intensity_mean
is not a result in every model I found. Ideally we would be able to have mean, mode, sd, and 95% CI for every query.age
outside ofinla_observed
models?For reference, I am currently formatting my queries as:
where
pathogen
is an interchangeable variable I set up on our own, local GET endpoint.
