Horizontal distance regularization #14

Open blulightspecial opened 3 years ago

blulightspecial commented 3 years ago

Let's consider logging the horizontal distance to road, water, fire variables. That will reduce the effect of those outliers and might improve our fit.

We do have zero-valued numbers so, we'll need to add 1 to the data then log it so that we can actually take the log. I know it works in OLS regression sometimes.
