4.6 Interrupted Time Series (ITS) Table File Lookup Table Parameters (Not Yet Functional)

The ITS Table File lookup table is required to be specified for an ITS analysis. All lookup tables can be found in the Reporting Tool templatefiles folder. The user will download the Reporting Tool, select the ITS Table File lookup table, and edit the relevant parameters directly in the lookup table.

The Table File is used to specify which tables and corresponding stratifications to produce in the report. The lookup table below is used to map the requested output with the strata level variables necessary to compute the appropriate metrics. Requested strata level variables must be requested in the distributed User-defined Strata Levels Look-up file. Note that only one Table File that includes all requested output should be specified. Table 4.8 contains detailed specifications for the Table File.

Three tables can be requested, as indicated by the TABLE parameter in the Table File:

  • T1: t2its = Parameter Estimates for Autoregression Model
  • T2: t2its = Absolute and Relative Change at Specified Time Points
  • T1: t2itsprev = Parameter Estimates for Autoregression Model in Prevalent Cohort
  • T2: t2itsprev = Absolute and Relative Change at Specified Time Points in Prevalent Cohort

LEVELNUM specifies the number of level ID variables required in order to produce the table. For example, if LEVELNUM = 1, then the output defined in LEVELID1 is required to be included in the distributed results, but the output defined in LEVELID2 and LEVELID3 is optional and not necessary to output the table. The INCLUDEINREPORT parameter is the only user-defined variable. Users must enter ā€œYā€ or ā€œNā€ to indicate whether to output the corresponding table and strata in the report.
