Research direction

Start by locating the workflow that handles an imported datafile and transfers a virtual cohort. Trace where the choice between the full dataset and a random sample could be presented, how the requested sample size is validated and stored, and how the selected data reaches further analysis; done means both choices work with the requested sample size.

Description

User story

As a researcher I want to create random samples with a pre-defined sample size from a transferred virtual cohort.

If an imported datafile has been selected, a list with options should occur: “full dataset” or “random sample”. If random sample is selected, it should be possible to enter the desired sample size. In a next step a random sample of the given size is selected from the datafile, stored, and used for further analysis.
