It has been a full day of data analysis and I am quite fatigued! I revisited previous findings and undertook some additional analysis, mostly ANOVA, to better understand the data. Increasingly, I am realizing that quantitative analysis is akin to listening to a story unfold and it is quite interesting.
Next week I am meeting with a quantitative expert so I created a summary document that captures: outcomes of hypothesis testing, additional findings, and initial thinking on the next stage of analysis. I plan to walk her through this document and am very eager to hear her feedback and suggestions.
The other key output for this week was finalizing my CDP Portfolio Assignment. I have submitted it to my supervisor for final feedback. Hopefully, I can submit this paper by mid-February and the Filene WhitePaper by the end of February. This will allow me to focus on analysis and my first colloquium for 2013 which is scheduled for late April.
I plan to take next weekend off to have some fun. This is part of my plan to maintain balance and energy by taking a full weekend off once per month. I am looking forward to the break.
