physionet_challenge_2012: per-stay means mix descriptors with time series and misstate urine output #149

Open

Description

@valterschutz

Problem

Source preparation (ported from the notebook that made physionet.csv) takes each variable's mean over a stay's 48-hour record. Some variables do not suit a mean:

  • Weight is both a general descriptor recorded on admission and an hourly time series; the mean mixes the two.
  • Urine is urine output per measurement in mL; its mean over a stay is not the stay's output, which is the clinically used quantity (its total).
  • Only means are kept: the last value, extremes and trends, which ICU mortality models commonly use, are lost, and so is the number of measurements.

Scope

  • Source preparation and dataset generation for physionet_challenge_2012; both budget settings.
  • Changes paper results: it is in the kdd26 dataset list.

Options to decide

  • Use the admission value for general descriptors and the total for Urine.
  • Add other summaries (last value, minimum, maximum), at the cost of more features.
  • Or keep the means and document the choice (the dataset page describes it today).

Acceptance criteria

  • The aggregation of each variable is decided, implemented in PhysionetChallenge2012Dataset.make_prepared_source, and stated on the dataset page.
  • just qa passes.
