[[Kyran Adams]] [[Work Logs]] [[Kyran Adams (Work Log)|(log page)]]
2018-01-22: Kept working on the Matlab page. Read reference paper in [[Estimating Unobserved Complementarities between Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists]]. Talked with Ed about what I'm supposed to do; I'm going to refactor the code and hopefully simplify it a bit and remove some redundancies, and figure out what each file does, what the data files mean, what the program outputs, and the general control flow. Possibly useful info:* only 'ga' and 'msm' work apparently, I have to verify this* Christy and Abhijit both worked on this* This program is supposed to solve for the distribution "unobserved complementarities" between VC and firms? 2018-01-19: Wrote page [[Using R in PostgreSQL]]. Also started wiki page [[Stimating Estimating Unobserved Complementarities between Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists Matlab Code]]. Tried to understand even a little of what's going on in this codebase
2018-01-18: Started work on running R functions from PostgreSQL queries following [https://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=postgresql_plr_tut01 this tutorial.] First installed R 3.4.3, then realized we needed R 3.3.0 for PL/R to work with PostgreSQL 9.5. Installed R 3.3.0. Link from tutorial for PL/R doesn't work, I used [http://www.joeconway.com/plr.html this instead.] To use R from pgAdmin III, follow the instructions in the tutorial: choose the database, click SQL, and run "CREATE EXTENSION plr;". This was run on databases tigertest and template1. You should be able to run the given examples. [https://www.joeconway.com/presentations/plr-DWDC-2015.05.pdf Another possibly useful presentation on PL/R.] Keep in mind, if the version of PostgreSQL is updated, both the R version and PL/R version will have to match it.
#Also created a [https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kyranadams/saved/gDzFdC new parts list] for the GPU build using server parts. Did some research on NVLink.
2017-11-08: Commented and wrote documentation for vc_cirlcesvc_circles, circles, and outjoiner.
2017-11-03: Fixed bug in circles.py that output place names in files as lists instead of strings (['S','t','L','o','u','i','s'] instead of "St. Louis"). Changed vc_circles.py to call outjoiner.py automatically. Refactored vc_circles.py, circles.py, and outjoiner.py to put all of the configuration in vc_circles.py. Wrote out method to plot circles using ArcMap in [http://mcnair.bakerinstitute.org/wiki/Parallel_Enclosing_Circle_Algorithm here].
2017-10-23: Started researching [[GPU Build]]. Researched the practical differences between single vs. multiple GPUs.
2017-10-20: Set up a my wiki page:)
