Re: Nested If statementsI would suggest using Contains() instead of long copy pasted list of or statements and possible associative array for value comparison. If you need a formula you might have to use Insert one expression into another using Eval Insert, Eval Expr, Parse, and Substitute to get lists / associative arrays into the formula. This might give some ideas:
Names Default To Here(1);
aa_pc_limits = Associative Array();
aa_pc_limits["MIX 1 A"] = {1, 5};
aa_pc_limits["MIX 2 B"] = {3, 4};
aa_pc_limits["MIX 2 C"] = {2, 5};
aa_pc_limits["MIX 2 D"] = {1, 4};
ntc_valid = {"MTX 1 A", "MIX 2 B", "MIX 2C"};
non_pc_valid = {"MTX 1 IC", "MIX 2 IC", "MIX 3 IC"};
dt = New Table("Untitled",
Add Rows(8),
New Column("Sample Name",
Character,
"Nominal",
Set Values({"NTC", "NTC", "AA", "AA", "AA", "PC", "PC", ""})
),
New Column("Target Name",
Character,
"Nominal",
Set Values(
{"MTX 1 A", "MTX AAAA", "MTX 1 IC", "MTX 1 IC", "AAA", "MIX 1 A", "BBB",
""}
)
),
New Column("CT_numeric",
Numeric,
"Continuous",
Format("Best", 12),
Set Values([., ., 2, 5, ., 2, 5, .])
),
New Column("CT",
Character,
"Nominal",
Set Values({"Undetermined", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""})
),
New Column("Run Validity",
Character,
"Nominal",
Set Values({"", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""})
)
);
dt:Run Validity << Set Formula(
If(:Sample Name == "NTC",
If(Contains(ntc_valid, :Target Name),
If(:CT == "Undetermined",
"Pass";
, // else
"Fail";
)
, // else
"NOT DEFINED. NTC"
)
, :Sample Name != "PC",
If(Contains(non_pc_valid, :Target Name),
If((1 < :CT_numeric < 4),
"Pass"
,
"Fail"
)
,
"NOT DEFINED. NON-PC"
)
, :Sample Name == "PC",
If(Contains(aa_pc_limits, :Target Name),
IfMZ(aa_pc_limits[:Target Name][1] < :CT_numeric < aa_pc_limits[:Target Name][2],
"PASS"
,
"FAIL"
)
,
"NOT DEFINED. PC";
)
, //else
"NOT DEFINED";
);
);Re: Nested If statementsThank you for this, but I'm not sure I follow it fully. What do 12, 13, 14 etc. refer to in this case?
Thanks
Re: Nested If statementsThank you, I was looking for something like contains for ages but couldn't find it. And thank you for the nest if statements, I'll give this a go.
Re: Nested If statementsI would guess they refer to ages (and keys in associative arrays to perform lookup).
Re: Nested If statements12,13,14 are the ages of the big class rows.
The [ square brackets ] for the outer associative array define two entries, one for "M" and one for "F". Each of those entries is also a an associative array with several entries indexed by ages. At the bottom you can see a 2-dimensional index using [sex][age] to look up a rule. Associative arrays also have an otherwise value that can be used when the key is not in the array.
So, Lookup["M"] returns an AA with entries for 12 and 13; Lookup["M"][12] returns the 80...90 rule, and evaluating that uses the weight value from the current row to produce a string.
The =>"?" needs to be =>[=>"?"] to actually work if there were values other than F and M. Otherwise Lookup["X"] would not return the expected AA for a 2nd index.
Re: Nested If statementsAnother possible approach to managing a complicated set of rules
dt = open("$sample_data/big class.jmp");
dt<<NEWCOLUMN> [ // rules for females, by age
12 => if(59<HEIGHT><63,"Pass","Fail"),
13 => if(60<HEIGHT><65,"Pass","Fail"),
14 => "Fail",
15 => "Pass",
=> "Maybe" // rule for other ages
],
"M" => [ // rules for males, by age
12 => if(80<WEIGHT><90,"Pass","Fail"),
13 => if(name=="JOHN","Pass","Fail"),
=> "Possibly" // rule for other ages
],
=> [ => "?"] // rule for unknown sex
]);
// use the table, above, to look up a rule, then evaluate the rule
Eval( lookup[:sex][:age] )
));</WEIGHT></HEIGHT></HEIGHT></NEWCOLUMN>
Edit: changed =>"?" to =>[=>"?"] as described below.
Nested If statementsHi, I'm getting lost in implementing nested If statements in JSL:
dt1:Run Validity <<
Set Formula(
If( (:Sample Name == "NTC" & (:Target Name == "MIX 1 A" | :Target Name == "MIX 2 B" | :Target Name == "MIX 2 C" | :Target Name == "MIX 2 D" | :Target Name == "MIX 3 F" |
:Target Name == "MIX 3 G" | :Target Name == "MIX 3 H" | :Target Name == "MIX 4 I" | :Target Name == "MIX 4 J")), If( (:CT == "Undetermined"), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 1 A"), If( (1 < :CT_numeric < 5), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 2 B"), If( (3 < :CT_numeric < 4), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 2 C"), If( (2 < :CT_numeric < 5), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 2 D"), If( (1 < :CT_numeric < 4), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 3 E"), If( (1 < :CT_numeric < 3), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 3 F"), If( (4 < :CT_numeric < 5), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 3 G"), If( (3 < :CT_numeric < 6), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 4 H"), If( (1 < :CT_numeric < 4), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name == "PC" & :Target Name == "MIX 4 I"), If( (2 < :CT_numeric < 5), "Pass", "Fail")),
If( (:Sample Name != "PC" & (:Target Name == "MIX 1 IC" |:Target Name == "MIX 2 IC" | :Target Name == "MIX 3 IC" | :Target Name == "MIX 4 IC")), If((1 < :CT_numeric < 4), "Pass", "Fail"))
);
Essentially I want for rows with sample name = NTC and Target Name one of Mix 1 A, Mix 1 B... if CT is undetermined return pass, if not fail
Is there a better way to do this with if statements? Or could you point out where I'm going wrong?
Thank you
