DOSE=1 at TIME=0 represents the first dosing event.  Subsequent dosing event is represented by DOSE=1.  I want to create a variable “SERIAL” which  identify serial samples from non-serial samples. Non serial samples will be coded as SAMPLE=1 and Serial samples: Number groups of serial samples sequentially with consecutive integers starting from 2 (i.e., SERIAL= 2, 3, ..).  Serial samples: a group of >=3 consecutive  samples (rows) associated with the same dose (pre-dose and all post-dose samples). Samples  (or rows) with the same “VISIT” value belong to the same serial sample group if they are associated with the same dose (including the pre-dose sample) or were taken within <=192 h (TIME) of the first dose in the serial sampling group.  SERIAL= .  if DOSE=1. In this calculations rows where C1  !=  .  & C2 = 1 & C3 equal to 1 or 3 should be ignored. I am struggling to implement this in SAS code. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

In your post you mentioned:

1)  I want to create a variable “SERIAL”

2)  SERIAL= .  if DOSE=1.

I couldn't understand your other rules to calculate SERIAL.

As your posted data has already a colomn named SERIAL,

I tried to build a code that create a new variable named calc_sn,

that as much as I understand should be equal to the posted variable SERIAL.

 

If you check next code log, you will see that first 18 rows has calc_sn = serial.

Maybe you can complete the program by yoursef, if not -

what are the rules to add 1 to the calc_sn or to reset it to 1.

Does ID have any part in those rules ?

@Shmuel: Thank you. 

TIME, DOSE are important here. Several doses (>1) are given per subject and each dose is given in time. For instance, ID=2, received doses at time=0 and time=96. dose=1 and serial=. represent those dosing events. Serial samples are  >= 3 consecutive samples (DOSE=0) associated with same dose (including predose samples).  The samples at TIME=2 were set to SERIAL=1 as they are non-consecutive samples (<=3 consecutive samples), because at TIME=96 next dose is given.  Following dose at TIME=96, there are serial samples (>=3) or <= 192 hr from the first dose (from TIME=100 to TIME=267), and hence these serial samples are coded as 2. Samples from TIME=604 to TIME=1637 are > 192 hr from first dose and hence were set to SERIAL=1. 

 

For ID=1, First dose is given at TIME=0, second dose  at TIME=72 & third dose at TIME=169. Samples between TIME=1 and TIME=169 are >= 3 consecutive samples or within <=192 hr from the first dose  and hence are coded SERIAL=2.  DOSES given at later TIME points such as 169, 240, 337 etc.. do not have >=3 samples subsequent to them and hence are coded as SERIAL=1. In case if >=3  consecutive samples are present after TIME=169, those samples will be coded as SERIAL=3 and so on.

 

Hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you.

@ari, I have been too busy yesterday and today, so I want just to clarify some more points:

 

- Is ID the subject ID ?

- Do you mean by "sample" - a row/observation in the dataset ?

- If I want to sort the dataset by subject, what other variables I need

  beyond ID (as subject ) and time - as there are "dupliacate" lines, regarding ID Time only.

- AmI right, to count consecutive samples I need count rows with DOSE=0 between 

  instances of DOSE=1.

- Would you say: if there are less than 3 consecutive samples then its Serial=1

  otherwise Serial count from 2 on by 1 (2, 3, 4...) per subject (ID) ?

 

I hope I'll have time to continue tomorrow.

@Shmuel. Thanks for the response.

   Yes, Id is the subject ID and sample refers to row/observation.

Sort order is:  ID TIME  DOSE  C3 can be used to sort the records

Yes, consecutive samples  can be identified by   counting rows with DOSE=0 between  instances of DOSE=1

if there are less than 3 consecutive samples then its Serial=1 otherwise Serial count from 2 on by 1 (2, 3, 4...) per subject (ID) ? 

Yes, for instance, if there are 3 groups of 4 consecutive samples (or rows) are found per subject. 1st group wil be SERIAL=2, 2nd group will be SERIAL=3 and so on.

Thank you.

Please run next code. No changes to step 1 - creating HAVE dataset.

There are still few observations with serial NE cal_sn (calculated serial number);

Check dataset CHECK.
