== '''About Me''' ==<br />
----<br />
I am a rising senior at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. I will graduate in the Spring of 2013 with a BS in Mathematics (with a focus in Statistics) as well as a minor in Computational Science. I hope to eventually to to Graduate School for either Statistics or Meteorology. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Research Goals ==<br />
----<br />
-Become fluent in MatLab programming.<br />
<br />
-Learn Linear Regression.<br />
<br />
-Be able to implement these: Take theory and apply it to practice.<br />
<br />
-Program MatLab to run linear regression and determine whether or not the coefficient values are significant.<br />
<br />
-Test this code with a simulation: use simulated data to make sure the code is working as I expect it to.<br />
<br />
-Integrate my work with Abby's work: use the images Abby generates and in each voxel do regression.<br />
<br />
-Learn how to make useful displays to communicate what is being done.<br />
<br />
-Be able to save data in a file and load it back in, and be able to load in the data that Abby has saved.<br />
<br />
-Find the mead and standard deviation in every voxel. Turn this into an image for display.<br />
<br />
-Learn how to use the Likelihood Ratio Test to derive the t-statistic.<br />
<br />
-Once a number for the degree of activation in each voxel is obtained, color code this with a color map for different degrees of activation.<br />
<br />
'''END GOAL: Get actual data and run the above analyses on it.'''<br />
<br />
