Deliverable 2: Progress Report

1. Planned Analytical Approaches

Describe the methods each team member is applying, and justify them against your research question rather than in the abstract.

Include:

• Method per member: which model each person is fitting, with the outcome and predictors named.
• Why it fits: what about your question or your data makes this the right choice — distributional assumptions, outcome type, structure in the data.
• What you rejected: approaches you considered and set aside, and why.

2. Work Completed

A concrete account of what is actually done — data acquired, cleaned, joined; models fitted; assumptions checked.

3. Preliminary Results

What you have found so far. Include the numbers and the visuals, with enough interpretation that a reader knows what to make of them.

• Model output — coefficients, fit statistics, diagnostics
• Whether model assumptions hold, and what you did where they did not
• Results that surprised you, and your current explanation

4. Challenges

What is not working. Data you could not get, models that will not converge, assumptions that fail, teammates' schedules that do not line up.

5. Remaining Work & Timeline

What is left, who is doing it, and by when. Work backward from the Final Report deadline (Dec 13, 2026, 11:59 PM US Eastern Time).
