Dealing with Outliers

I finally addressed some of my outlier issues today.  This has resulted in a few meaningful results and a reversal of the direction of a previous finding –not insignificant!!  Overall, I have had a very full and focused day at the library.  First, I reviewed my research literature summary.  I then reviewed all of my analysis to date and documented some outstanding questions.  I spent the remainder of the day conducting more analysis.

I had planned to begin to formally write up my executive summary but I ran out of time!  Next week writing will be my first priority.  I think that I am in fairly good shape with my progress so far and have some interesting findings but I need to articulate the story in words.

I am off to complete some errands now and enjoy a relaxing evening at home with my partner.  The colder weather has arrived and I can feel my cocoon “vibe” beginning to set in.
