Milestone 2 : Regression Variables and More Data

This week's goals are to calculate centralities for high energy physics (HEP) citation network, start crawling arXiv for other domains of physics, and to obtain data for regression variables.

Here's the to-do list for our second milestone:

• calculate the PageRank for each paper
• calculate closeness and betweenness centrality
• obtain years since Ph.D. for professors in UCs who study high energy physics (HEP)
• obtain relative cost of living for each college area
• start crawling arXiv's HEP citation network from 2003 to 2012
• start crawling arXiv's astrophysics and condensed matter citation network
• obtain salary data from outside UCs, including University of Texas system.
