First off I would like to thank you guys for all the good questions! Even though i was really nervous I think I got the majority of what i wanted to say out there. Of course, I skipped things that I had on my notes to talk about because I kind of just went with [...]

On the Friday our rough draft was due, I sent a copy to Eric Nickell at PlayOn who has been assisting me with data. The following Monday he sent it back to me with his comments and suggested revisions. His criticisms were very helpful and I look forward to integrating them.Â
 The most radical change he [...]
So I gave my presentation today and I think it went pretty well. I was really nervous because am not a big fan of public speaking but luckily I survived. Unfortunately when I got home from presenting I went back to my rough draft to finish making the edits that Greenlaw had suggested for me [...]
So my rough draft is completed and I’m presenting my research this Wednesday. Over Thanksgiving break I prepared a PowerPoint presentation that I am still working on. I’m still working out a few kinks with the regressions such as possible autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and equation misspecification. I will be meeting with Dr. G later today to make [...]
The Seventh Circle of Hell is Reserved for…me.
Published by November 27th, 2006 in Uncategorized. 1 CommentI’m sure every one of you guys can sympathize with me at some level. I am confident that almost everyone in our class has gone through some level of data hell. It just seems that I’ve been living in the 7th circle of hell…and since I’m practically in self-destruction mode, I guess Dante [...]
First to go in the AM and Im kind of nervous! Im confident about my paper and pretty sure Ill be fine, but Ive been trying to practice what the speaking center told me and I cant help doing some of my little habits. Practicing in the mirror is suprisingly distracting. The first half seems [...]
Ok, so I know I’m behind, I’m having trouble with my regressions. I have econometrics right now and thought I would know how to run regressions, but I haven’t gotten past the part where I input my data. And, I’m not sure how to input the dummy variable… so, I think I might use Excel [...]
When I was explainig my emprical analysis I recognized a glitch in my methodology. I talked to some people in finance and no one could quite grasp what I was trying to say. So, I knew DeGraff was teaching from 6-9 so I stalked him a little bit. I cornered him and talked it out [...]
Ok, so A- Isaac that whole “my paper is 40pgs so far” was definately info you should have kept to yourself! Way to make us(possibly not us-maybe just me but I really hope its and us thing) feel inadequate! haha JOKE.
So I have the basis of my paper written (dont worry guys, its not 40 pages haha). [...]
My paper is absolutely massive - 40 pages so far, sin appendices or an empirical analysis section.  Not that I didn’t expect his; I had a lot to say. Plus, when I’m writing a rough draft I tend to just let my brain go whereever it feels without paying close attention to specific organization. I’ve always [...]
