Add trap information to model / switch to Oracle trap locations #15

Closed geneorama closed 7 years ago

geneorama commented 7 years ago

We want to improve the model's information by taking into account the trap locations in the model. The main goals is to inform the model of bias on a per trap basis. This may require some form of dimension reduction as there are a large number of traps.

Currently there are 189 traps on the data portal. Of those, 30 are not geocoded correctly for various reasons, usually because they are at the boundaries of the city and may fall outside the technical city limits (and our geocoder only works for City of Chicago addresses).

Using Oracle data would clear this problem up, and provide more complete data.

This is actually a continuation of #8 Closing and moving discussion there.
