Dear all, I vaguely remember that some people are working on matching census villages to polling booths, and wonder what progress they made. As some of you know, I am currently doing this India-wide through an automated spatial matching algorithm - but before releasing the result, it would be nice to assess accuracy of this procedure more thoroughly.
The key problem I face is that polling stations are often not named "village X" but "primary school founded by Y" - so that name matching does not help too much in validation (certainly not in urban areas). It would be better to check against roll part names (thus my email about those a few days ago), but best would be if anyone has a manually matched table of polling stations (2014 IDs) against PCLN (2011) or MDDS (2011) census codes with which I could compare my results - if only at the example of one state, or a few districts. Alternatively, if somebody has too much time too offer and is familiar with any specific district in greater detail, I could send along a matching table for this district to see how well it fits. Please get in touch in a direct mail in this case... Any other ideas how to validate the matching table welcome, Best, Raphael -- Raphael Susewind | BGHS Bielefeld University, CSASP University of Oxford Snail Mail | Melanchthonstr. 4a, 33615 Bielefeld, Germany Papers & Blog | http://www.raphael-susewind.de Please do consider http://www.gnupg.org for encryption (key id A5ED49AE) -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
