Hi I'm Noah - this repository contains work contributing towards my project for Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) as part of Google Summer of Code (GSoC).

Folders in this repository are:

• Example Data - Leicester, UK - data used in the example implementation of this methology. Focusing on the city of Leicester from the 2011 UK Census. Including Unmerged Data from the ONS, containing the boundary (geometery) data of Leicester from the census and demographic data on the ethnic identity of Leicester's residents - both at Output Areas (OA) scale. The leicester_ethnicity GeoPackage (.gpkg) is a merging of both of these pieces of data - and is overviewed in the read_shapefile notebook.

• Explanatory and Interactive Workbooks - workbooks outlining the work contributing towards the GSoC project. Hopefully written at a level that any beginner Python user may be able to interpret them. Please feel free to make any comments on improvements through the Review of the read_shapefile and kl_divergence notebooks issue.

• Schedule (out-of-date) - a PDF outlining the schedule of the project. From beginning of coding to end of GSoC period.

Alongside this project, I am writing a blog noting my progress and keeping track of what I am learning. You can find that on my website: https://noahbouchier.github.io/

Go well!
