How can I extrapolate a natural history using multiple data changes over time.
I have a problem that I have difficulty explaining but here goes. I have multiple data sets that I want to use to see what happens over time.
For example, i know that in 1 case, over 500 days, a the test went up from 250-500 over 4 months. I have another case where the test went up from 1-40 over 6 months and another case where the value went from 60-200 over 5 months and 200-1000 over 8 months.
How do I plot this and put it altogether to say what happens with the test over time?
Hi,
It would assist greatly of you could upload the data so that we can see the layout.
In general though I think I'd summarise the data to record the Minimum and Maximum values for periods of 1,2,3....n months and then create a column chart with the number of months on the x axis and the columns showing the min/max spread on the y axis.
As to how you summarise the data we can only really say when we see the layout.

I see. The problem is the data is health protected so I can give you an example table I suppose.
ID Sample 1 Sample 1 date Sample 2 Sample 2 date delta sample delta dates
A 100 1/1/2016 200 1/15/2016 100 14
B 2000 1/1/2012 5000 6/1/2013 3000 517

D 256 5/28/1983 250 6/28/1983 -6 31
Sorry here is a better formatted version.
