4/26: HA led discussion of the rest of section 1 of that paper. We also discussed statistics techniques and concepts, let by MH. VB has done a preliminary analysis of the New Death Data file, getting a curve that appears at first glance to be roughly compatible with VK's analysis of SATCAT, although the noisiness in the two curves seem different.
5/3: MH's thesis proposal update: DB will send the updated proposal along with the Farmer & Lafond paper to the committee today. He will also send the time series analysis tutorial to us so we can discuss it next week.
5/10: Summer plans
- Summer schedule: we will communicate by email on an ad hoc basis, meet if there is a reason to, and otherwise start up our regular meetings in August.
- VB is working on his proposal now. VK is on his committee and has been assisting. Since VB's work will in part build on VK's thesis this helps significantly.
- MH thesis updated proposal: RS sent DB email approving it. EP has emailed approval. HA has approved by email as well. DB approves it, so now it's approved.
- DB plans to be working on a paper on death date curve conversion to launch date curve.
- MH plans to be working on his thesis based on the modified proposal document.
- RS plans to communicate when he is ready to start the minitab based paper.
- HA plans to provide weekly article discussions in the fall during our meetings.
