1 and 2 are now done. 3 has some comparisons in the do file/log file, in terms of hull counts, hull areas, number of startups in hulls, hull densities, etc. We should absolutely use these (the medians and the means?) but I will also build some layer index scatter plots. I think I'll also try to render some city-year (perhaps Portland-2018) using each of the lenses too. I haven't done the heatmap(s) yet.
====Comparing the Methods====
Summaries of the meta-data on geometries created by each lens is probably the best method of comparison. These are in the do file:
. //Compare how their lenses look:
. tabstat nohull tothullcount tothullarea tothulldensity growthinv18 numdeals numstartups if regmaxr2==1, stats(p50
> mean sd N min max p10 p90) columns(statistics)

Another way to compare the methods is to look at the layers they select. This is visible in a box plot as well as summary statistics. The following is from ResultsV3.xlsx
'''Separate Samples (All Available City-Years)'''

Finally, we can look at a city where different methods select different layers and look at those layers:
