I've pushed a complete draft of Chapter 1 and 2 as well as Appendix A and B. Sections that need a closer review based on your comments last time would be Chapter 1.1 and Chapter 2.2.2. Chapter 2.3 also mostly contains new additions as I was able to complete the toy example and the experimentation (yay!). It's located in the '_Thesis\index\book__' folder.
I was only able to do 50 trials in the experimentation though (100 trials took too long and the page reloaded before completion, likely because of too many resources used). I'd like to do more trials but I thought it wasn't worthwhile spending a lot of time figuring out how to incorporate parallelization at this point in time. Maybe this is something we can talk to Andy about or allocate more time to, if need be, but for now, I'm ready to move forward with the plan.
That being said, I'll be thinking about the simulation plan. I'll post an issue regarding that by Monday evening and we can talk about that in more depth on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend!

Working backwards from the April 17 due date and allowing for multiple revisions, here is a suggested timeline:
April 24: Thesis Talks
April 18/ 19/ 22: Run through thesis talk with Prof Correia
April 19: Thesis Due to Chair April 17: Thesis Due to Advisor
By April 12: Finalize Thesis Revision 2 // Work on thesis talks
By April 5: Finalize Thesis Revision 1 // Work on thesis talks
By March 29 (after Spring Break): Finalize the Conclusion [Chapter 5] & Submit Full Thesis Draft (afterwards, begin working on the thesis talk while revising the thesis paper)
By March 15 (before Spring Break): Finalize Simulation Draft [part of Chapter 4](afterwards, tie up loose ends on the 4 chapters and work on the conclusion section)
By March 8: Submit 3MT Thesis Talk Proposal
By March 1: Finalize Application Draft [Chapter 3] (afterwards, continue work on the simulation)
By Feb 16: Finalize Short Chapter 3 Write-Up Section (afterwards, continue setting up simulation study and write-up)
By Feb 9: Finalize Chapter 2 Draft (afterwards, begin work on simulation study while simultaneously working on Chapter 3 write-up)
In overview, the focus of February will be the simulation study (draft complete by March 1) and the focus of March will be the application and conclusion sections (draft complete by March 29). All submissibles will be on Friday in advance of our Tuesday weekly meetings.
In line with that, the goal for this week (by Feb 9) is:
Finalize Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Appendix B [spillovers from last week :(] and read up on Seldonian Algorithms for Classification in preparation for the simulation study. Start working on Chapter 3 write-up.
