Quantifying geolocation error #23

Open JohnCRuf opened 1 year ago

JohnCRuf commented 1 year ago

I've observed an "obvious error rate" of approximately ~24 from my work on matching df_with_2_ands.csv to the 2003-2011 precinct map. An error rate of 25/1500 corresponds to a ~1.5% error rate. Not bad, but not great. Obvious errors are projects that span > 2 wards. There are only 3 project ids in the dataset that are from 2011 on.

We need a task that quantifies these errors across years and across wards. We need to show that this error rate is actually random.
