Here we will discuss OHDSI Best Practices for Estimating Population-Level Effects as is being formulated in this document, as was explained in the Population Level Estimation Workgroup meeting.
As discussed during the Eastern Hemisphere meeting, we’ve added the best practice of validating your analysis code. Here’s what I added. Let us know if you have any comments!
- Validate all code used to produce estimates. The purpose of validation is to ensure the code is doing what we require it to do. Possible options are:
- Unit testing
- Simulation
- Double coding
- Code review
