Recent Improvements • Ease of initiation (load sheets) • Addition of diverse inputs • radio buttons • yes/no • true/false • Identification of levels of agreement and disagreement • Question statement carries generic column heading • Simplified pricing
Next RTD Steps • Student version • Promotion • A version with only qualitative inputs • Mixed row inputs • Training others
Data Imputation • The problem: completing incomplete historical data sets • Fill the blanks in WDI historical data for a set of 30 countries and 28 variables over 20 years. • Used the JP7 statistical package
Techniques • Raw data • Interpolation • Limits • Country by country time series • Other parameters • Regress across all countries
Next Steps • Extend to other countries • Continue validation • Search for automated means of imputation • Create “go-no go” rules • Combine with global model
