Community-collected datasets: some members have compiled datasets from their own experience and shared them. They are self-reported, unblinded, and therefore limited as evidence. But they show real patterns that people experience.
Aggregated purity results across four services, with caveats — a second dataset
Limitations of datasets: all community-collected data has limitations. The population is self-selected (people in this community are not representative of all people using these compounds). Reporting bias is real (remarkable outcomes get reported; mundane outcomes do not).
Two things before anyone answers the substance.
First, the context in the first post is clear and specific. Second, the question is framed so that an answer can actually address it. Both are the norm here and both matter more than they sound.
Picking up post #23: that is the part I would want checked first.
Temporal bias: older data in a dataset might reflect conditions (supplier, formulation, context) that have changed. Newer data is more current.
post #96 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.
Temporal bias: older data in a dataset might reflect conditions (supplier, formulation, context) that have changed. Newer data is more current.
How to contribute: if you have longitudinal data you want to add, the format is simple: date, measurement, context. Contact the maintainer of the specific dataset.
Reproducibility: if sharing data, include enough context (compound, dose, timeframe, method) that someone reading it understands what it represents.
