[FEATURE] Supporting Aggregate Observations by Geometry #18

Open TheCedarPrince opened 2 months ago

TheCedarPrince commented 2 months ago

Issue Description

Difficulty: Intermediate

Time Estimate: 8-12 hours

Description: The goal is to write functions that can take individual or household level observations and aggregate them by country-level or state-level geometries. This requires identifying each observation with a specific geometry, then applying statistical methods to summarize the data. The challenge lies in handling missing values, outliers, and ensuring accurate aggregations.

Requirements

TBD

Expected Outcomes

  1. Accurate aggregated statistics (mean, median, k-means) for each country or state.
  2. Improved data summarization capabilities for future analysis.
  3. A robust and scalable solution that can handle large datasets.

Hey @00krishna , could you help me break this out further based on our discussions over Slack lately? Feel free to edit the original issue. :)
