This week, I am working to get the dynamic time warping functionality into my program. The process of doing so includes re-processing the features to include the time series, putting each series back together when we construct sequences, and then performing the DTW to generate a number that will be used to compute the kNN of each sequence which can then be used for predictions with the models. The processing time of these activities has gone up significantly since we have been using five different metrics with each of the F phase datasets. I am returning to school next week, and once I've completed the DTW processing all that will remain before we put together our second paper (The date for the reach journal we would like to submit it to is October 1), I am hoping I will have time to look again into the Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering concept, which I did not successfully complete when we explored it earlier in the summer and then changed focus to the paper. We heard back
Further investigation of the first phase shows that there are significantly fewer males than females and that there is only one TBI subject. Therefore, we do not intend to do any subgroup analyses in the first paper that we are working on. When we reintroduce the second group of data, we will revisit this idea. Additionally, I tested out several different age groupings to see if we could choose a midpoint that classified "Older" and "Younger" patients to then perform k-Nearest-Sequence predictions within. This did not seem to improve the results. This may be another factor that we want to address when we return to the entire two-phase dataset, but for now, it will be left out of our paper.
This week will be spent organizing the necessary data for the different sections of the paper so that we can begin writing (finding relevant references for the related work section, thinking about what aspects of the project we can use to tell a cohesive and meaningful story, etc. ). We are also considering what sort of different visual graphics we want to use.
