Obviously there’s a lot going on globally due to the worsening economic conditions - and yes, we’re affected as well.

Apologies for not keeping the blog updated but we are in a bit of triage mode right now and also are trying to be fair to those of you who put so much effort in so far.

Needless to say, we didn’t see this coming.

We’ll be posting more updates after the first of the year and possibly a few in between.

In the meantime, enjoy your holidays!

We’ve been working on new modeling techniques in order to convert aggregate trend information into specific impact events that reflect changes in certain market segments.  While not purely a multilevel analysis approach, these new modeling techniques should be able to show different levels of trending within various sub-sections of each identified market segment as well as potentially identify the influencing factors.

Of course there are many variables involved and because of the nature of modeling aggregate trends the inherent complexities make untangling nondependent variables that are ‘wrongly coupled’ quite difficult: for example, dense clusters of “variable neighborhoods” may lead to potentially misleading identification of opportunities.

Perfecting these modeling techniques is likely to be a long uphill battle for RoboCrush, but a very important one.
