07</15/2016 - Refining hazard model: revising variables used, comparing Cox Proportional Hazard and Lognormal Accelerated Failure Time modelsonlyinclude>
07/18/2016 - Cataloged SQL tables, revised STATA script (STATAdatasetup2.do) to include ratios, replace cashflow with ebitda, and filter out firms smaller than $50 million===Spring 2017===
0702/1902/2016 2017 - Investigated baseline hazard of Cox Proportional Hazard model. Compared to Lognormal and Loglogistic Accelerated Failure Time models to try to predict hazard rate Planned immediate next steps for LBO project; fixed bug in matching code (matchpair indices not just hazard ratiobeing stored correctly) 07/20/2016 - Adjusted dataset to filter out firms that are small (<$40m) or not listed in major exchanges (AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ). Consulted Brian on descriptive statistics of dataset. 07/21/2016 - Investigated negative ebitda ratios.
07/22/===Fall 2016 - Performed further testing of hazard model. Ran preliminary matching analysis using patent flow data. 07/25/2016 - Cleaned data setup do file. Organized list of data problems to consult with Ed.===
09/06/2016 - Discussed workload for the week, plan for project going forward with Ed and Jake.
11/18/2016 - Minor bugfixes for STATA code (got winsorized variables working consistently); began working on patent start/end table
