In our meeting today, we discussed autocorrelation testing. I had started redoing the Stata project using another built-in ACF test. Ironically, the autocorrelation test results were excessively conclusive about the evidence of autocorrelation in our data. Since this looks too good to be true, will spend this week figuring out exactly what I did wrong to get such impossibly good results.
Also, I was told that there's a prominent Amherst alum working at a well known asset management company that would be interested in talking to me about my thesis idea. I take this opportunity to welcome anyone reading this to contact me even if it is nothing more than just letting me know you are interested in reading about this topic. Or that your heart skips a beat every time you see me publish a new post. Feel free to leave comments or send me an e-mail. I'm tired of seeing 4-5 new spambot trackbacks on my blog everyday and not much else. There is nothing more valuable to me than hearing your opinions. Thank you.
Here's the latest draft of my thesis proposal. I will be presenting this to faculty in the coming week.
