Region Methods

Model based approaches for aggregating a large set of geographic units (with small footprints) into a smaller number of regions (with large footprints).

region.AZP(gdf, w, attrs_name[, n_clusters, ...])	AZP involves class offering the implementation of the automatic zoning procedure algorithm.
region.MaxPHeuristic(gdf, w, attrs_name, ...)	The max-p-regions involves the aggregation of n areas into an unknown maximum number of homogeneous regions, while ensuring that each region is contiguious and satisfies a minimum threshold value imposed on a predefined spatially extensive attribute.
region.RandomRegion(area_ids[, num_regions, ...])	Randomly combine a given set of areas into two or more regions based on various constraints.
region.RandomRegions(area_ids[, ...])	Generate a list of RandomRegion instances.
region.RegionKMeansHeuristic(data, n_clusters, w)	Solve the region-K-means problem with the constraint that each cluster forms a spatially connected component.
region.Skater(gdf, w, attrs_name[, ...])	Skater is a spatial regionalization algorithm based on spanning tree pruning introduced in [ANCdCF06].
region.Spenc(gdf, w, attrs_name[, ...])	Spatially encouraged spectral clustering found in [Wol18].
region.WardSpatial(gdf, w, attrs_name[, ...])	Agglomerative clustering using Ward linkage with a spatial connectivity constraint.
