Exclude synthetic values
When estimating shrinkage parameters for EBGM scores generated by a data mining run, MGPS does not consider custom terms. If source data includes other synthetic values, such as standardized MedDRA queries, you must exclude those values for the appropriate data configuration variable. Once synthetic values have been excluded, MGPS does not consider them when estimating shrinkage parameters for EBGM scores.
Note:
AERS data releases provided to you by Oracle are already configured to exclude SMQs as synthetic values.Note:
When you have excluded synthetic values, users creating a data mining run do not need to take any additional steps to exclude them.Parent topic: Transform data
