We have been discussing various aspects of the cyles, sex skin, cycstat,
and repstat data. This is a status report:
1. As noted by Steph this past spring, many t dates are missing in the
cycles tables. We determined that most of them just were not scored, and
all were from pre-BABASE days. We agreed to leave them until it was more
pressing, and that time has come. Laurence has now listed all cycles with
missing t or d dates, and I shall start checking them, scoring as
appropriate. About 900 cycles are involved, almost exclusively from 1985-1995.
2. For most years, sex skin size has not been entered nor on our list of
information to be entered (I entered several years for the early 80's,
Susan's lab entered scattered cycles from the late 90s for our effort to
confirm that field scoring was ok. For hormone analyses, we now would like
the data on sex skin size for Dec 99 forward. Leah will start with 2002
and go forward (see email from Catherine and yesterday's emails). We just
decided that Laurence will start with Dec 99 now as she is ready for the
size data.
3. BABASE structure related to these 4 data types: we (Catherine, Karl,
Laurence, Jeanne) have had several meetings, will report shortly.
off to one of those meetings,
