Automatically Creating a Dependent Variable
Brim allows you to automatically create a dependent variable: you enter a name and description, and Brim automatically generates:
- All of the fields and instructions for the dependent variable
- A list of new input variables it needs to compute the dependent variable
- Fields and instructions for each of these
It's a tremendously powerful tool for doing complex layered reasoning easily, and at scale.
See how to do it below:
Tips:
- Always check the fields after generation to make sure they look correct to you. AI can misunderstand your intent just like a human can!
- If you'd rather manually create the dependent variable, try the "Skip AI" button at the bottom of the page.
- You can reference reference documents in a dependent variable just like you can for a variable. This allows you to leverage complex protocols or scores directly from their source PDF.
