Synthetic biomarker study: participants

One row per participant of the made-up study in Synthetic_Results: the treatment arm, and the participant-level variables a chart can group, panel or filter by.

Usage

Synthetic_Participants

Format

A data frame with 200 rows and 6 columns. The names follow ADaM's subject-level dataset where it has one.

USUBJID

ARM

SEX

character F or M.

AGE

integer Age in years, 18 to 85.

BMIBL

numeric Body mass index at baseline in kg/m2, to one decimal place: the continuous baseline characteristic.

RESPONSE

Source

Generated by data-raw/synthetic-study.R. The same table is in the package as system.file("extdata", "synthetic_participants.csv", package = "gsm.bio").

Details

Everything in it is synthetic. Arm is the grouping behind the planted difference in IL-6 (see Synthetic_Results). The other columns are drawn independently of each other, of arm, of every biomarker and of the outcome, so any association a test finds with them is chance.
