Today was a change of gears. As my purpose here at Rockwell Collins is being molded, I understand the goal of my project much better. I am to be testing the current estimation tool and found out the tool is not a reliable predictor given its current status. I have started getting into the programming code and data files to determine what exactly it is looking at to make those predictions. The process has been quite the challenge so far.
I have been a little surprised at what I think is going on with the regression problem. It seems to only be regressing over a single variable after filtering the data over 6 variables. I plan to investigate if a multi-variable regression would be more accurate, but until I can narrow down what the program is actually looking at, I cannot make that suggestion.
I was exposed to computer code today (something I am not very proficient in) and was able to locate the data filtering portion and the regression portion. I just started processing through the code with an example to see if I can replicate what the program is doing. No success yet.
Chuck Basset is a great colleague. He has worked hard to get me the data and programs I need.
