So, I've officially been a slacker when it comes to posting.
Since I last posted, things have been fast but interesting. I started working on a contest sponsored by UCSD, which we did alright in. We weren't spectacular, but considering that so many of us were rookies, I'd say we did pretty well.
Toward the end of the contest, I started helping finish a project with PolySci department. We were analyzing campaign contribution records to preform record linkage on donors, and it was my responsibility to find a metric to describe how well we did. This was accomplished by comparing manual clusters with computer generated clusters, and evaluating how similar the two were. All in all, it was very successful, and I'll hopefully be getting my name on a publication.
