Weighting observations #49

Closed RobShaw77 closed 1 year ago

RobShaw77 commented 1 year ago

As far as I can tell, it is not currently possible to give weights to observations. One obvious workaround is to duplicate points but this would be very inefficient. Has this been considered as a future development?

In my example, I have a series of places that I'm clustered and would like to take account of their population in the max min cluster sizes.

Thanks Rob
