Selection Tab

A tab of the Session Setup window used for selecting which cohorts to use in the new session.

 

Description

This tab allows you to select the specific cohorts that will be used in this session. You must select at least 1 cohort. Keep in mind that the more cohorts you select, the longer the calculations will take. 

A cohort consists of a unique combination of values for the given variables. For example, if you select All Sites for the Site variable, All Races for the Race variable, and Male and Female for the Sex variable, you would end up with 2 cohorts. The first cohort would be All Sites, All Races, Male, and the second would be All Sites, All Races, Female. If you selected Breast and Larynx for the Site variable, All Races for the Race variable, and Male and Female for the Sex variable, you would end up with 4 cohorts. 

The values displayed here are based on your previous selections. For example, if you imported LDP that only contained one cohort, then only one set of values would be displayed here. 

 

Controls
