When I estimate a model, it raises an **Error during g-formula execution: The baseline covariate for each individual should be the same value at all time steps** error, even though I'm adjusting for variables that should be baseline covariates (i.e. age, BMI, etc.) It also sometimes gives me error messages that simply states an error has occurred and to try again later without elaborating as to why. Can someone please help me resolve these issues? Thanks.

Can you please provide the name of the model and the date it was submitted? You can reply here or email challenges@cstructure.io
Hi Erick, I'm now getting a baseline covariate error even when I set all my variables as time-varying, which doesn't make much sense to me. Can you please help me resolve this issue? Thanks, Morgan
If the 10 bootstrap submission completes then the 500 bootstrap run will automatically be added to the queue. There are several features that can be used as a baseline covariate (e.g. Age, COPD, DIABETES). Please create unique names for your model submissions, if there are multiple rows in the leaderboard database with the same team, project, model_version_name then only 1 row will be displayed.
Also there isn't a specific feature I have a question about because it raises the error unless I set all my variables as time varying.
Is the limit only on the 500 bootstrap submission or does it apply to both because I've only been submitting the model for 10 bootstraps afaik
Hello, Thank you for the question and participating in the challenge. Please review the Challenge Wiki for guidance on how to specify the submitted models with respect to baseline and time-varying covariates. Submitted models that return the 'same value at all time steps' indicates you are using a feature that does vary over time as a baseline covariate (e.g. BMI can vary over a hospitalization from fluid overload or dehydration). Is there a specific feature that you have a question about? For errors that are cryptic, the queue may be overwhelmed and the initial bootstrap results are timing out. Please limit the number of models you submit to six per week as described in the Challenge Wiki.
