Linda's should be fine. The last incomplete census was June 27 and the last
team census was June 29.. I don't see any agonism data for after that date.
Getting ready to upload Weaver's now.

It looks like Weaver's and Linda's. Everyone elses data went in fine! :-D
You probably should log in as admin when trying to create tables in pending.
As for the 'types' of data, You might look on the ppa website
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/bookindex.html I only use
a couple of different types because I don't know what the rest of them mean.
I mostly use character, char var, numeric, date, time without timezone as
they are the only ones I understand :)
Thanks again

No, it won't take me long at all. I can do it after lunch. Is Weaver's the
only group affected?
I got stuck trying to create wounds tables in pending anyway. Do I need to
log in as administrator to make those or something? Getting weird errors.
Also, is there a list somewhere of what all these options in the type column
are??? I couldn't find one and many are not self explanatory.

Animals who would be included in her census would be the only animals
affected by this anyway as Courtney won't know them to collect data on them.
So as long as the statdates are updated for those animals who she would be
collecting data on, everyone would be covered.
This is likely to only occur on this update, and potentially 10B as I think
Courtney will be back in kenya then. So it wouldn't be a recurring problem.
It would also mean just holding back one or two lines of data which can very
easily get lost, unlike cycles, which are bigger events, which can't and
won't be lost.
It it looks like something that you just won't have time to do by Tues, does
it make more sense for me to enter these few demog notes?
Thanks

Hmm. When we have any kind of cycling (example a cycle has begun in June or
December but has not been completed by the last census day and so is left
dangling) or reproductive data (example a birth estimated to be at the end
of June but after the last census date) that occurs at the end of an update
period we hold it over for the next update.
I can see why we might not want to do that for agonisms in December
(although you guys do male agonisms for the first half of the year
separately?) since I guess we'd want them included in the 09b update in
order to count them when doing the ranks. Does it matter for June? Will
you do the 09a male agonisms before the 09b update?
I can add a census column for 6/29 BUT the animals that Courtney did not
census (mostly juveniles) would still not have a change in statdate since
they would still get no census record for that day. I guess for male ranks
only the adult male interactions matter though so it would be okay if only
the adults were marked through the 29th?

Hi All!
I am working on the uploads of data and have found june to be a bit
tricky. Since Courtney is often in the field collecting data on 'last days'
when the team isn't doing a complete census, the 'censored' statdate of
individuals in Weaver's group is 6-27, however courtney has (at least)
agonism data for animals on 6/29.
Is the best solution here to add demog notes? It looks like Courtney did a
partial census that day. I know we set up a rule that we wouldn't enter her
partial censuses unless a demographic change occured.. but maybe we should
add to this these special june and december cases where we are likely to
have interaction data corresponding with her partial census. If we don't
use that partial census, the animal's statdate is before its final
interactions for the 6 month update period.
Let me know if I need to do anything on my end to make this happen so I can
get these data in.
Thanks
Lacey
