[traits.build workflow] Require new value_type, "standard_error" #171

Open ehwenk opened 3 weeks ago

ehwenk commented 3 weeks ago

As indicated by @kris-wild , traits.build does not currently have a mechanism to capture standard errors associated with a mean value.

We're going to trial adding an additional value_type, standard_error and test how that works.

We're aware that as with min-max pairs, when the traits tables is pivoted wider, mean-SE pairs for the same observation_id will remain on separate rows and this will require additional manipulations and pivoting by the user.

Discussed in https://github.com/traitecoevo/traits.build/discussions/170

Originally posted by **kris-wild** August 23, 2024 I've chatted with Lizzy and I require a way to map error values to accompany means. Any way we could add say "standard_error" as an additional value type?
