What does `rxcycle` mean

[peteWT]

@ncparker what does rxcycle mean is it 20-year increments? if not what is there a time component?

'rxcycle' is when the prescription occurs. There are four ten-year cycles in the data. 'rxcycle' should have values of 1-4. In my work I aggregated the first two cycles into one big cycle because cycle 1 has more activity than could be reasonably accomplished and cycle 2 has very little activity. Things get more steady in cycles 3 and 4. I think. I focused on the first twenty years to match the biorefinery economic life.

@ncparker How did you aggregate cycles 1 and 2 if they are executed in different locations? I tried to follow your approach but most of the locations for cycle 2 are different from cycle 1.

@jdlara-berkeley I don't think there are any locations with actions in both cycle 1 and cycle 2. I treated it as one big 20-year cycle where the single action happens sometime within that timeframe. If there are locations with actions in both cycles then it requires more thought but an average production should work.

@ncparker so basically is dividing the yield by 20 instead that by 10 and using all the data from both cycles at the same time?

@jdlara-berkeley Yes.
