Status for January 25

25 Jan 2017

What have I worked on?

yubikey: last night I set up two-factor authentication for Gmail and Github. Eventually will also set up for home computer log-in and password management.
priorityEffects1: sketched out some ideas and read some articles, but I think Alan and Brett want to refine the model. Pushing forward with the model as it stands seems a bit foolish given this.
priorityEffects2: re-ran knn approach but calculating distance between predictions and actual in both x and y space.
appliedMath: derivation of the wave equation and diving into PDEs
reading: Mertz, et al. 1968. _Biometrics. Provides experimental evidence for predator satiation in cannibalistic interaction between adults and pupae, which is interesting since most models assume type I functional response. It’d be even more interesting if adults were able to preferentially cannablize eggs of competitors, but I don’t imagine this is likely.
checkerboard: data entry and validation. Caught up and everything is looking good. Excited to see it in 5 weeks.
beetleMeeting: sketched out some points I’d like feedback on during tomorrow’s meeting.

reading: mainly about stochasticity in two-species models, some noise-color thinking, some extinction thinking.
graphDissim: check on initial experiments. If they finished running, scope the findings and see variation and distribution of metric.
``:

priorityEffects1 and priorityEffects2: use the morning meeting as a jumping off point on this.
