Shared control paired ?

[chalex-eth]

Dear Dabest team,

Thank you for providing a such tool making easy estimation statistic.

When trying to make a shared control with a paired design with : dabest.load(Data,idx=('Baseline','Post','Off'),paired = True ,id_col = 'ID') Data consisting in a 8x3 array. I got the following error ValueError: is_paired is True, but some idx in ('Baseline', 'Post', 'Off') does not consist only of two groups.

How to fix this in order to make a shared control with a paired design.

Maybe it can't support a paired design for shared control ? Maybe one day ?

Thank you

Kind regards,

Alex

Hi,

Do you have a dummy dataset to demonstrate the type of data you have?

Hi,

Here a bunch of code to reproduce my data shape

from scipy.stats import norm 
import pandas as pd
Ns = 8 

c1 = norm.rvs(loc=3, scale=0.4, size=Ns)
c2 = norm.rvs(loc=3.5, scale=0.75, size=Ns)
c3 = norm.rvs(loc=3.25, scale=0.4, size=Ns)
id_col = pd.Series(range(1, Ns+1))

df = pd.DataFrame({'Control' : c1,   'Delay1' : c2,  'Delay2' : c3,'ID':id_col})
dab = dabest.load(df,idx=('Control','Delay1','Delay2'),paired = True ,id_col = 'ID')

And the error

ValueError: is_paired is True, but some idx in ('Control', 'Delay1', 'Delay2') does not consist only of two groups.

I think the plot you want is the successive repeated measures plot, which would include a parallel coordinates plot, and the bootstrap effect sizes below.

A mock up of the plot (which is currently unavailble) would be this:

There are plans to include this into the repertoire of estimation graphics; happy to accept your PR if you implement it!
