Fall 2017

2017-11-09:

  • Notes on data downloaded:
    • Year 2010-2012 data are based on total population, not 25 yrs or over (case for all other tables)
      • Record appears five times total, with same exact column name
      • For exmaple: 'Total; Estimate; High school graduate (includes equivalency)' appears five times, with different values.

2017-11-07:

  • Yesterday, narrowed down columns of interest from ACS_S1501_educationattain_2016 table.
Id
Id2
Geography
Total; Estimate; Population 25 years and over
Total; Estimate; Population 25 years and over - High school graduate (includes equivalency)
Total; Margin of Error; Population 25 years and over - High school graduate (includes equivalency)
Total; Margin of Error; Population 25 years and over - High school graduate (includes equivalency)
Percent; Margin of Error; Population 25 years and over - High school graduate (includes equivalency)
Total; Estimate; Population 25 years and over - Associate's degree	
Total; Margin of Error; Population 25 years and over - Associate's degree
Percent; Estimate; Population 25 years and over - Associate's degree

Percent; Estimate; Population 25 years and over - Bachelor's degree
Percent; Margin of Error; Population 25 years and over - Bachelor's degree
Total; Estimate; Population 25 years and over - Graduate or professional degree
Total; Margin of Error; Population 25 years and over - Graduate or professional degree
Percent; Estimate; Population 25 years and over - Graduate or professional degree
Percent; Margin of Error; Population 25 years and over - Graduate or professional degree
Percent; Estimate; Percent high school graduate or higher	
Percent; Margin of Error; Percent high school graduate or higher
Percent; Estimate; Percent bachelor's degree or higher	
Percent; Margin of Error; Percent bachelor's degree or higher
  • Complications:
    • For csv files corresponding to years 2015 & 2016, all of the above columns exist.
    • For csv files corresponding to years 2005 - 2014, no 'Percent' columns exist
      • Instead their 'Total' columns are percentage values
    • For csv file corresponding to year 2005, columns regarding Graduate or professional degree are labeled differently.
    • 2012 data doesn't correspond to Population 25 years and over.
  • Temporary Solution:
    • Since the above problems may be specific to this set of tables, will go through csv files and adjust columns.
  • Python script location:
E:\McNair\Projects\Agglomeration\ACS_Downloaded_Data\pullCertainColumns.py

2017-10-31:

2017-10-03:

  • Installed PostGIS & is now visible on pgAdmin III
  • ArcGIS (connect to postgis database):
    • 1) Open ArcMap
    • 2) Either open blank or open existing file/project
    • 3) Click on 'Add Data' button with a cross and a yellow diamond (under Selection toolbar)
    • 4) Go to the top-most directory by pressing on the arrow that points left-then-up (on the left of home button)
    • 5) Click on 'Database Connections'
    • 6) Click on 'Add Database Connection' (if Connection to localhost.sde) does not exist already)
    • 7) Fill in the following fields:
      • Database Platform: PostgreSQL
      • Instance: localhost
      • User name: postgres
      • Password:
      • Database: tigertest
    • 8) Press 'OK'
    • 9) Now you'll have 'Connection to localhost.sde' in your Database Connections
    • 10) Double click on 'Connection to localhost.sde'
    • 11) Double click on the table of interest
    • 12) Click 'Finish'
    • 13) You'll see information populated on map, as one of the 'Layers'
      • Tested with: tigertest.public.copointplacescontains
  • On running & altering Oliver's script:
    • Location: E:\McNair\Projects\OliverLovesCircles\src\python\vc_circles.py
    • Ed manipulated file names so that underscores would replace dots (St.Louis --> St_Louis)
    • Takes in instances and sweep times as part of the argument, but not impactful as those variables are hardcoded in the script
    • Ran vc_circles.py with the following variables with changed values:
      • SWEEP_CYCLE_SECONDS = 10 (used to be 30)
      • NUMBER_INSTANCES = 16 (used to be 8)
    • New output to be found in: E:\McNair\Projects\OliverLovesCircles\out

2017-09-25:

  • Talked to Ed about GIS, Census data, and going about determining the correctness of reported 'place.' Currently script makes a cross product of each reported place and an existing place, outputting a column of boolean value to indicate whether the reported place's coordinates fell within a place's geometric boundaries. One other way of going about this which we discussed is to first check if the reported place does fall within that place's boundaries. If it isn't, we'll go about the cross product method.
  • Discussed the need to maintain venture capital database.

2017-03-29:

  • Troubled by the variety of cases - separating keys by keywords will not work favorably when it hits University of California vs. University of Southern California case - find a way to match University of Southern California first (more specific ones first) - but how to generalize

2017-03-27:

  • Writing code for university matches - decided to go through keys instead of each dataitem. Use keywords in each key to go through the dataitem - misspellings are currently unaccounted for.

2017-03-24:

  • Discussed with Julia & Meghana about university keys to use to count # of occurrences, including aliases and misspellings
  • Thoughts: to use a scoring metric with a key of UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SYSTEM, it should have a 'better' score when compared to MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES PUBLISHERS C/O UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY or CALIFORNIA AT LOS ANGELES, UNVIERSITY OF than when compared to UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, which may pose a challenge when attempting to implement this in a more general sense. In normalizing a string, strip "THE", "," and split words by spaces and compare each keyword from the two strings. Deciding on which strings to compare will be another issue - length (within some range maybe) could be an option.
  • Federal Grant Data XML Parser was rerun - same output textfiles

2017-03-22:

  • Read string matching & calculating distance, below are relevant links
  • [1]
  • [2]

2017-03-22:

  • Talked to Julia about universal matcher, want to combine all University of California's to University of California, The Regents of
  • Converted crunchbase2013 data from mySQL to PostgreSQL, but having trouble with the last table - cb_relationships, complains about syntax error at or near some places - but generally all tables exist in database called crunchbase
  • Federal Grant Data XML Parser was run - the three output textfiles can be found in E:\McNair\Projects\Federal Grant Data\NSF

2017-03-16:

2017-03-15:

  • Todo: write a wikipage on possible input/output info on string matcher
  • Wrote part of XML parser, extracted yearly data into E:\McNair\Projects\Federal Grant Data\NSF\NSF Extracted Data (up to year 2010)

2017-03-14:

  • Started pulling academy cases but there are too many cases to worry about, in terms of institution of interest. A document is located in E:\McNair\Projects\University Patents\academies_verify_cases.txt
  • Need Julia/Meghana to look through the hits and see which are relevant & extract pattern from there.
  • Having trouble outputting txt file without double quotes around every line.
  • Thinking that one text file should be output for all keywords instead of having one each, to avoid overlap (ex) COLLEGE and UNIVERSITY are both keywords; ALBERT EINSTEIN COLLEGE OF YESHIVA UNIVERSITY will be hit twice if it were counted as two separate instances, one accounting for COLLEGE and the other for UNIVERSITY) - either in the form of if-elseif statements or one big regex check.

2017-03-13:

  • For University Patent Data Matching - matched SCHOOL (output: E:\McNair\Projects\University Patents\school_pulled_from_assignee_list_USA) and matched INSTITUTE(output: E:\McNair\Projects\University Patents\institute_pulled_from_assignee_list_USA).
  • University Patent Matching
  • To be worked on later: Grant XML parsing & general name matcher

2017-03-08:

  • Wrote regex pattern that identifies all "university" matchings - can be found in E:\McNair\Projects\University Patents\university_pulled_from_assignee_list_USA -- is an output file
  • Talked to Sonia, but didn't come to solid conclusion on identifying whether key words associate with city or country by running a python function
  • Output sql tables from finished run of Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py
  • Ran through assigneelist_USA.txt to see how many different ways UNIVERSITY could be spelled wrong. There were many.
  • Tried to logic through creating a pattern that could catch all different versions of UNIVERSITY. Discuss further on whether UNIVERSITIES and those that include UNIVERSITIES but include INC in the end should be pulled as relevant information

2017-03-06:

  • Installing python in a database
  • Added building Python function section to Working with PostgreSQL at the bottom of the page.
  • Ran FDA Trial data ripping again, as the text output files were wiped.
  • Plan on discussing with Julia and Meghana again about pulling universities and other relevant institutions from the Assignee List USA.
  • Talked to Sonia about pulling city, state, zipcode information, hence python was installed in a database. Will work with Sonia on Wednesday afternoon and see how best a regex function could be implemented

2017-03-03:

  • Attempted to output sql tables

2017-03-01:

  • Started re-running Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py

2017-02-27:

  • Finished producing tables from Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py
  • Talked to Julia about LinkedIn data extracting - to be discussed further with Julia & Peter.
  • Started web crawler for Wikipedia - currently pulls Endowment, Academic staff, students, undergraduates, and postgraduates info found on Rice Wikipedia page. Can be found in : E:\McNair\Projects\University Patents\Jeemin_University_wikipedia_crawler.py

2017-02-24:

  • Continued working on producing multiple tables - first two are done. Was working on location, as there are multiple location tags per location.

2017-02-22:

  • Finished Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py (E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials\Jeemin_Project\Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py), which outputs to E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials\Jeemin_Project\general_data_ripping_output.txt; TODO: output four different tables & replace the write in the same for-loop as going through each file

2017-02-20:

  • Continued working on Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py to find tags and place all of those information in a list. The other zipcode file did not finish executing after 2+ hours of running it - considering the possibility of splitting the record file into smaller bits, or running the processing on a faster machine.

2017-02-17:

  • Completed code for counting the number of occurrences for each unique zipcode. (currently titled & located: E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials\Jeemin_Project\Jeemin_Running_File.py). It has been running for 20+min because of the comprehensive XML data files. Meanwhile started coding to create a dictionary with the keys corresponding to each unique trial ID, mapped to every other information (location, sponsors, phase, drugs ...etc.) (currently titled & located: E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials\Jeemin_Project\Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py).

2017-02-15:

  • Discussed with Catherine what to do with FDA Trial data and decided to have a dictionary with zip-codes as keys and number of trials occurred in that zipcode as values. Was still attempting to loop through the files without the code having to exist in the same directory as the XML files. Plan to write to excel via tsv, with zip-code as one column and # of occurrence as the other.

2017-02-13:

  • Goals (for trials): 1) Build ER Diagram 2) For each entity, get XML snippet 3) Build a parser/ripper for single file; the python parser can be found at: E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials\Jeemin_Project

2017-02-08:

  • Attempted to come up with possible cases for locating the description of accelerators - pick up from extracting bodies of text from the about page (given that it exists)
  • Trial Data Project

2017-02-06:

  • Set up wikiPage & remote desktop.
  • Started working on python version of web crawler. So far it successfully prints out a catchphrase/ description for one website. To be worked on. The python file can be found in: E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Python WebCrawler\webcrawlerpython.py
