Colin Carroll, Karin C. Knudson - Fighting Gerrymandering with PyMC3 - PyCon 2018
Speakers: Colin Carroll, Karin C. Knudson
At the end of 2017, there were seven states with ongoing redistricting litigation. We will discuss a statistical model that the United States Supreme Court declared to be appropriate in cases of racial gerrymandering, and show how it can be implemented and used with the library `PyMC3`. We will also discuss what the model tells us about racial gerrymandering in North Carolina.
