"Graphing?"
"Graphing."
We got eight more stents worth of data today (and still might get a few more). We also got updated information on stents whose data we'd sorted through last week. It turns out that some of the parameter values we were given were target values, not actual ones, and the actual values were quite different. So today was a day of redoing some of our previous data analysis, doing new data analysis, and trying to draw conclusions so that we can write the report.
Not all of the models are going to be in a great place at the end, but at this point the hope is that we'll be able to diagnose ways in which they're wrong. If we can say that Model B is making incorrect predictions for a certain quantity because of too strong a dependence on a particular parameter, then we'll be in an okay place. It would be even better to be able to come up with a list of dependencies (essentially power laws or something similar) so that someone else would have a better place to start in developing a model.
