@nicholasjhorton suggestion: stub out an qmd file which summarizes what you find from some of the images.
@annajzhou have you been able to identify a set of register pages that comprise an entire pay period? Can you find two that are one year apart?
Thanks in advance for any updates on this issue.
Cool! Might you be willing to create a simple qmd
file which summarizes this finding.
Yes, I created a summary qmd file above and committed it to the main branch (I wasn't sure where/how to upload it?) I would be interested to start working on issue #10 and following a subset of workers to look at employment duration, employment retention, and any differences before/after the Civil War.
This is coming together well.
Just FYI, I moved the file to https://github.com/STAT210-S23/Parsons_Paper_Register/tree/main/payroll_analysis
@annajzhou might you be able to add the page numbers from the register that you used to calculate the number of employees per pay period in the file https://github.com/STAT210-S23/Parsons_Paper_Register/blob/main/payroll_analysis/parsons_payroll.qmd?
Question: Can we figure out what these groups of employees are doing? Looks like they are grouped into different things
@nicholasjhorton can you please give us the link to the master's thesis that you mentioned (UMass thesis)?
Yes, I just updated the qmd file with the page numbers. I can also calculate a 9-year average number of employees instead of 6 years if needed.
@annajzhou thanks! @sedelson31 will also be working with you on next steps for these analyses.
I split off the review of the Hickey thesis into a separate issue (https://github.com/STAT210-S23/Parsons_Paper_Register/issues/17).
Next steps are to work on refining the questions so that you can briefly update the class about this issue on Tuesday. Does that sound workable? Do you have everything you need to move forward?
Yes, I updated the qmd file with the new 9-year employee average and a couple other observations.
I wonder whether it would be helpful to start to create some screenshots to illustrate your methods and results. This is something that we might be able to share with Eileen in advance of our meeting with her next week.
I suspect that using the existing Quarto file to create this technical report would be workable. Thoughts?
I just updated the qmd file with some screenshots from the register to help with this. Let me know if there's anything else I should add/update.
Can you also please push changes to the formatted pdf? Thanks in advance, Nick
Yes, done
read in google sheet on qmd file which tracks employment by job type for first 6 months and last 6 months of the register
I look forward to reviewing your draft prior to class. Sometime today can you please:
@annajzhou could you render to pdf please? For some reason my R will not let me do so
@sedelson31 Sorry to hear about the complication. I'd be glad to help you troubleshoot in class tomorrow.
I pushed changes to the revised pdf + qmd file -- I didn't include counts for the last 6 months on the spreadsheet on employment types due to a lack of data after 1861
@annajzhou I'm not seeing your commit: I don't think that you pushed it.
Note that I added the pdf to the folder (see https://github.com/STAT210-S23/Parsons_Paper_Register/commit/13650b830eddd9f42d8689ded67ba09b9f2f1f74)
Can you please Slack me with the pdf that you intended to push?
@nicholasjhorton just Slacked you, sorry about the confusion I'm not sure why I'm getting a merge conflict
Sarah and I just finished making edits to the report and pushed updates to the pdf + qmd.
I'm seeing https://github.com/STAT210-S23/Parsons_Paper_Register/commit/bf561068c92bcebd4abf2c7d3ed05ee7eaa2a2af but there was no pdf.
I've pushed changes to the pdf and will forward to Eileen.
See https://github.com/STAT210-S23/Parsons_Paper_Register/commit/9b5cd8bd805184c6ceffb440f70d4bd1bdc0a269 for some additional changes that I pushed.
I'm closing this issue (and will open a new issue for future work on this front).
This will require exploring multiple pages that comprise the entire payroll.
