San Diego Regional Data Library » SEZ Analysis

I've release a new dataset that pre-sums the pixel values in buffers and rings around each SEZ:

https://data.sandiegodata.org/dataset/sandiegodata-org-sez-lights/

There is also an example analysis notebook that shows you how to use the data:

https://github.com/sandiegodata-projects/chartercitiesinstitute.org-sez/blob/master/notebooks/ericbusboom/05%20Mean%20Lights%20File.ipynb

This dataset will allow you to analyze the features that are related to SEZ economic growth without doing an of the geographic processing that has been difficult to get the environments configured for.

I re-created the conda environment files, with two files, one for Macs and one for Linux. See the README for the repo for details:

If you are on windows, see the requirements/build.sh file, which shows the process for bootstrapping the conda environment. Basically, you load a minimal environment, pip install some more modules, then export the environment spec to a file. If you create an environment for Windows, please add it to the requirements directory.

I updates the conda environment config and verified that my notebooks run with a fresh install, so you should be able to checkout the repo and follow the setup instructions in the README:

I've just published a blog post about the project and kickoff meeting, with a few neat images from early analysis:

Here is our Zotero research library, which you should be able to read without an account. But, you will need an account to add papers -- email Eric for help.

Here is the meetup for the project kickoff.

I've added pages to the Wiki for useful datasets and basic ideas about the direction of the project.
