Impute dates and times when data are missing.

Description

Impute dates and times when data are missing.

Usage

impute_dtc(data)

impute_dtc_ntod(data, na_ntod = NA_real_)

Arguments

data

A data.frame or equivalent object with at least the columns defined in the details section.

na_ntod

What nominal time of day should unscheduled measurements be imputed as? (Often 0 is selected, but missing is the default.)

Details

Dates and times will be imputed based on the following rules:

  • If both date and time are observed, no the observed value will be used.

  • Data are assumed to be grouped by appropriate grouping factors within a nominal time so that all times may be at the same time, and data are assumed to be sorted in the order specified in the protocol.

  • If nominal time since first dose (NTSFD) is missing, no imputation will be performed (the measure is assumed to be unscheduled).

  • If dates differ within a nominal time measurement, no imputation will be performed (a data issue would appear to exist in that case).

  • If only one date exists within a nominal time measurement, missing dates will be assumed to match the observed date.

  • If one or more time exists within a nominal interval, all measurements in the interval will be assigned to the median of the times that exist.

Columns used in calculation are:

  • ADTC: (the date and time) formatted as an ISO8601 datetime without the time zone (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss) where the entire time or the seconds parts are optional.

  • STUDYID, USUBJID, NTSFD: grouping variables for the study number, subject identifier, and nominal time since first dose.

Value

'data' with the columns "ADTC_IMPUTE_METHOD" and "ADTC_IMPUTED" added.

Functions

  • impute_dtc_ntod(): imputes based on the typical nominal time of day (NTOD) for a subject.
