| 1 | +## CSS 2016 Task List |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +In preparation for [CSS 2016](http://www.phuse.eu/annual-conference.aspx), **Working Group 5, Standard Analyses**, highlight a few tasks that we will initiate or complete during our annual symposium. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Our two main subteams are: |
| 6 | + 1. White Papers (define analyses), and |
| 7 | + 2. Standard Scripts (implement analyses) |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +#### Standard Analyses (White Papers) |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Please see this [status of current white papers](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/blob/master/TODO.md#white-papers-project-08). We will focus on: |
| 12 | + 1. Reviewing any proposed updates and revisions to 4 previously published papers |
| 13 | + + including [queries raised while implementing Central Tendency analyses](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/blob/master/TODO.md#wg5-principles-and-conventions) |
| 14 | + 2. Discussing the 3 papers in active development |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +#### Standard Scripts |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +We have 2 main sources for standard scripts: |
| 19 | + 1. Scripts from the FDA's JumpStart workflow |
| 20 | + 2. Implementations of Standard Analyses from PhUSE CS White Papers, above |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +###### FDA JumpStart Scripts |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +We will present recent developments during CSS 2016. **If you want to get involved immediately** in reviewing and testing these scripts, please contact Hanming Tu (see the [PhUSE Wiki](http://www.phusewiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Standard_Scripts) for email address). |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +###### Standard PhUSE CS Analyses (White Paper implementation) |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +There is still much to do to deliver the analyses in the White Paper on Central Tendency (**WPCT**). For full details, see our [WPCT Task List](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/blob/master/whitepapers/WPCT/TODO.md). From that list, we highlight a few specific tasks, to illustrate the range of ways that you can contribute your expertise. In increasing complexity: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + * Learn about the WPCT package from |
| 31 | + * [Our PhUSE wiki page](http://www.phusewiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=WG5_Project_02) |
| 32 | + * [Our GitHub WPCT User & Contributor Guide](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/blob/master/whitepapers/CentralTendency-UserGuide.md) |
| 33 | + * Test a Standard Script |
| 34 | + * R: Using our test data or your own ADaM data, produce Fig 7.1 and Fig 7.2 using the corresponding [R script](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/tree/master/whitepapers/WPCT) |
| 35 | + * SAS: Using our test data or your own ADaM data, produce Fig 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 using the corresponding [SAS script](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/tree/master/whitepapers/WPCT) |
| 36 | + * **Give us feedback** on usability, documentation, design, etc. Help improve the approach and scripts. |
| 37 | + * Enhance a SAS or R script |
| 38 | + * Current R and SAS scripts are coded for 1 data domain, such as labs or vitals signs. |
| 39 | + * Analyse and document domain difference. ADaM expertise is highly valuable. |
| 40 | + * Propose an approach or mechanism for handling all intended domains: labs, vital signs, ECG. |
| 41 | + * Qualification criteria |
| 42 | + * Outline qualification requirements for each WPCT Figure. What should we test, to confirm the scripts work as expected? What would convince you that they are accurate and robust? |
| 43 | + * References: |
| 44 | + * [White Paper on Central Tendency](http://www.phusewiki.org/wiki/images/4/48/CSS_WhitePaper_CentralTendency_v1.0.pdf) |
| 45 | + * [Specifications for the WPCT standard analyses](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/tree/master/whitepapers/specification), |
| 46 | + * Test the [SAS macros behind the standard SAS scripts](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/wiki/Utility-Macro-Index-(SAS)). |
| 47 | + * That [SAS Macro Index page](https://github.com/phuse-org/phuse-scripts/wiki/Utility-Macro-Index-(SAS)) shows what has been done ("qualified"), and what remains ("implemented"). |
| 48 | + * Define and implement the tests for one of the remaining SAS macros |
| 49 | + * Test automation |
| 50 | + * Industry code should behave as expected for different users, in different environments |
| 51 | + * Design and propose a test-automation solution for the repository and code that we have |
