7  Final Analysis ready data

7.1 Final derivations and transformations

From the IDA exercise a decision was made to derive a new variable based on White Blood Count in the absence of Neutrophiles:

  • WBC_NEU: WBC - NEU

The new derivation will also be checked as a candidate for pseudo-log transformation.

A visual check confirms that a pseudo-log transformation is appropriate for the newly derived variable.

The new derivation and transformation is added to the analysis ready data, setting the correct indicator flags to enable final analyses and modelling.

Visual check of indicator flag and new derivation added to the analysis data set.

7.2 Save final analysis ready data sets

The final analysis ready data sets are then stored in data/Analysis.
