Description

Return task administration and validity fractions on distinct denominators.

Developmental research records may encode task eligibility, known responses, observer roles and withdrawal. A flag or support share describes supplied observations and does not independently assess a child, verify consent or establish a clinical interpretation.

Return task administration and validity fractions on distinct denominators.

When to use this tool

Use Child Task Valid Trial Proportion when checking explicit developmental-study record and observation rules.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter scheduled, administered, valid. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read administrationFraction, validOfAdministered, validOfScheduled. Use the output convention below.

Return task administration and validity fractions on distinct denominators. Require whole scheduled >= administered >= 1 and valid in [0,administered]; compute administered/scheduled, valid/administered and valid/scheduled.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • The descriptive fractions do not verify trial quality, participant capacity or developmental competence.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use an approved study protocol and appropriate professional assessment for participant decisions, developmental interpretation or clinical questions.
