Question about synthetic data

[jdjmoon]

Hi Ruoqi, I found the paper to be interested, and thank you for making the codes available. Before I planned on applying the model to our real data problem, I was running your code with the simulation data you have provided. While I have followed the direction provided (including using same version of the libraries), I have been getting several errors while running the Bash/python command: "bash run_lstm.sh" (I have also tried to change the pkl files in the FILES, but did not had any luck). I was wondering if you happened to get any errors when you run it? Another question I had was if I understood your code and paper properly, it's okay to add and modify demographic information (and changing the pre_demo.py) would make the code to work properly. Is this correct, or would the model only work in this particular frame for real data?

Thanks very much to your response or help!

One basic question please, why insurance enrollment start and end dates are needed? Is that because in the RCT step you consider all the patients that had a valid insurance only / balanced-out the insurance-covered/non-covered factor? Thank you!

Hi,
The start date is used to measure the baseline period and the end date is used to measure the follow-up period in order to construct a valid user cohort.

Hi,

Could you please share the error message you got?

Thank you Ruoqi! The methods section is super helpful. As I read more about your paper, I find it more fantastic!
