Susan /Lacey/Karl/Jun,
This is just as a follow-up/placeholder for the ranker discussions we
are having this week.
The Princeton/Female protocol we currently use means that doing a year's
worth of ranks can often take up to a month. Jeanne asked it there was
anything that could be done to speed this process and I said "YES". I
have on my 'wish list' the automated extraction of rank reversals and/or
dyad interactions so that I don't have to look all these up by hand.
I've discussed this with Karl once before, and included it on the
"Ranker Needs" document I sent out earlier to Jun. I understand this
wish is manageable from a programming standpoint.
Although we have to get some basic functions in Ranker worked out,
Jeanne asked me to flag this as a priority for the time when we can
think about increasing the efficiency of the program.
Thanks,
Tabby
