Working on the parser today

  • Tried using my ExcelUtils, which are barfing on all the text in the csv
  • Discovered DictReader from the csv library, which works perfectly!
  • Throwing away rows that have less than three data points
  • Collecting rows into countries – done
  • Parsing out dates and values – done
  • Working on getting totals – done
  • Working on calculating rates – done
  • Seeing if I can do a least squares regression to calculate a first pass -done? It doesn’t seem to quite work right on the actual data
  • Aaron added his pieces in and everything seems to be kind of working
