http://econ300.umwblogs.org Introduction to Economic Analysis, Fall 2007 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:03:18 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So...yeah.  Definately spelled Friedman wrong.  How was the rest of the presentation? http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/12/03/presentation-of-paper/ I have started to panic. I am worried that my regression results are insignificant and that all this work i've done throughout the semester is going to turn out to be complete crap. I know that you don't have to prove your hypothesis correct but I would really like to ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/12/03/741/ So my presentation is complete...or so I think...I will probably continue to edit it the more I go through it and rehearse it before tomorrow morning but for now it is done. The bad news...I know that I am going to need to correct some autocorrelation and possibly heteroskedasticity...so we ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/12/03/presentation-and-regression-problems/ So while working on my project I realized that I need to change my equation, probably fairly significantly. I need to make a dependent variable of several of my health statistics, either by rolling them together somehow or incorporating many while keeping them independent. While I'm largely fine, this should ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/12/02/a-nightmare-come-true/ hmmm... so, I thought that I was ok with my paper and project, but I don't think I am. I realized that I have a bunch more work to do and I am not very motivated to do it!! If anyone has any suggestions on where I can find annual ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/12/01/735/ Now that i'm finished with my presentation I realize that I was stressing out for no reason.  I knew my material and was able to handle the questions, and I got some good feedback on how to improve my project.  All I can say now is I hope this paper ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/12/01/733/ I need to talk to Dr. Greenlaw this week about adding some variables to my regressions. I still haven't gotten information from many state sales tax departments, so that's disappointing. Anyway, I'll hopefully finish up by this weekend so I can spend more time studying. http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/11/30/finishing-up-2/ Hey all.  Hopefully everyone had a great thanksgiving and is getting some time to relax in these few days, but I know most of you, like me, have work to be doing anyway.  After having given my presentation on my terrible model, I've started work on correcting various parts of ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/11/28/thanksgiving/ So I still have not received my data and I am freaking out. I have all the other parts of the paper written but without data you're up the creek without the paddle and I feel like that's where I am right now. I am getting really stressed about it ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/11/23/winding-down-and-stressed-out/ I've just now realized, after writing five and a half pages of literatuer review, that my review is far too long.  Perhaps if I had not been stiffed on relevant data sets by the Metropolitan Police Department , the exessive length of my lit. review would be a little easier ... http://econ300.umwblogs.org/2008/11/22/too-much-literature/
