Merging data sets

The SAS data files that wera created as a results of the operations noted earlier have the important property that all three viscoelatic properties have either been measured or interpolated to the same temperature. Therefore one can merge data sets for different polymers by temperature (a SAS data set manipulation) and then perform blend calculations on the data quite simply in SAS. For example, one can calculate the expected viscoelastic properties of a blend from the pure components and their volume fraction using the equations of Uemura and Takaynagi (8). 

The final meddra data set in this program contains the lower-level term code (llt code) that can then be merged with the adverse events or medical conditions database. By merging the MedDRA dictionary data with the disease data, you can match the verbatim event text captured on the case report form with the preferred term and associated body system. Then you can summarize these data by body system and preferred term you will see an example of this in Chapter 5. 

The data set in this program can then be merged with the medications data from the case report form by the drugrecno variable to attach the preferred term from the WHODrug dictionary with the verbatim drug name collected from the case report form. 

Get data This step involves pulling the data to be used into SAS. It often requires merging treatment or study population data with analysis data sets or some other data to be summarized/listed.

This DATA step rearranges the counts data set created by PROC FREQ. The data set is essentially merged with itself three times in order to get each treatment into its proper column. A group variable is created to help separate the ANY MEDICATION row from the other true medications. Percentages are calculated, and the columns (coll-col3) are formatted as XXX (XXX%). Finally, the lastrec variable is created to help make a continuation flag in the PROC REPORT output.

The success rate of every prediction set was greater than the value of 50% expected by chance. Specifically, the various sets of predictions differed from the 50% value by about 3 standard deviations (for the lowest success rate, which was for the merged data) to about 12 standard deviations (for the highest success rates, which were for the medium and long regions of disorder). Overall, these data provided very strong support for our hypothesis that disorder is encoded by the amino acid sequence (Romero et al., 1997b). 

After merging of the single zones, data sets of approx. 100-300 independent reflections can be obtained as described in chapter 2.5. In a first step a kinematical structure refinement should be performed using the program SHELXL [13]. The temperature factors for FAPPO were chosen as U = 0.06 for C, N and O as U = 0.10 for H atoms apart from H atoms situated at N with U = 0.12 A (Electron scattering factors [20]). To prevent the molecules from being distorted a refinement, where the whole molecule was kept rigid, was performed. This also improves the usually bad parameter/reflection ratio. In the case of modification I we obtained R-values of 31% (481 unique reflections with I > 2cr) for the 100 kV data and of 25% (385 unique reflections with I > 2a). The sparse 100 kV data of modification II was not analysed quantitatively. From 300 kV data we obtained an R-value of 23% (226 unique reflections with I > 2a). 

In the "merge procedure the initial set of observations is reduced by scanning the set repeatedly, each time locating the two observations that are closest to one another and rejecting the second of the two. This rejection is repeated until the final desired number of seedpoints remains. For example, in Figure 2b the data points are the initial set of observations from the full data set. The closest observations are indicated, and the second of them is to be rejected.
