The process of #networksimplification is on its way!🐍👨🏽‍💻 I need to share some exciting early results (on roundabouts) to keep the motivation going! It's a Mammoth task 🦣 and this is only the beginning... so #staytunned The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) #GSoC2022

Somehow I'd missed this... but (easy) isochrones are coming to the PySAL's sphere of influence (through Geosnap for now) 👇🔥

Meet Emory Economics graduate student Pablo Estrada | pabloestrada.io | BSc & MSc Economics ESPOL in Ecuador. Pablo worked as RA at the World Bank & at the Google Summer of Code with The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) Emory LGS Emory College Emory Diversifying Graduate Education Ravi V. Bellamkonda

I was featured on NumFOCUS' Google Summer of Code wrap-up post! Had a wonderful experience working with The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) -- highly recommend to anyone interested in spatial data science! numfocus.medium.com/numfocus-7th-t…

if i were to take some michigan NLCD data, use it to seed a little cellular automata model with spatial-stochastic transition rules, and animate the results, I'd be sorely tempted to call it "A Computer Movie Simulating Urban Growth in the Detroit Region"...

If you're into cities or open spatial science and needed another reason to come to NARSC in San Diego, Pedro Amaral, Luc, Serge Rey and I are teaching spatial analysis and spatial econometrics with The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) 👐 narsc.org/newsite/wp-con…

I am very honoured to share that I am one of this year’s awardees of the Distinguished Service to Regional Studies Awards. The award is granted by the Regional Studies Association Regional Studies Association youtu.be/PUeAcus0KTY

new paper with Serge Rey in EPB today :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23… If you care about residential segregation, but you ignore the way travel networks are designed, you're probably missing an important part of the picture

This is just as good a last-monday of Aug. to remind the X-verse (?) our book "Geographic Data Science with Python" is out and about, you can order it if you want and/or you can enjoy it free online! All your #python needs for #geospaial + #DataScience in one neat package 🐍🌍🤖

We have been working on the development of the open-source spatial optimisation package (The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) spopt) in the past three years and here is an update: ubdc.ac.uk/news-media/202….

We were very lucky to have Qunshan Zhao visiting us today Aalto University to give us a workshop about spatial optimization methods using open source tool #spopt in The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL). 🤓🌍 Super inspiring and useful! Thanks! 🙏😊 @AaltoGeoinfo

the januay 2024 release of The Python Spatial Analysis Library (PySAL) is live github.com/pysal/pysal/re… Tons of new changes and additions (im teaching "Spatial Analysis and Econometrics with PySAL" at WRSA in feb & "Python for Spatial Data Science" at CARTO in march if you're looking to get your feet wet :) )

so, an opinionated take: 'Urban Analysis and Spatial Science' will be available from CRC Press in early 2025 :) the digital version (still in draft) is at knaaptime.com/urban_analysis/ comments, criticism, and feedback welcome.

PySAL's BDFL is elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science! Congratulations Serge! sdsu.edu/news/2024/04/g… Open source is good for science

Phew! I wrote up some thoughts on this 👇over at darribas.org/anotes/article…

This month marks the release of pysal/spreg 1.5.0, the spatial econometrics package of PySAL. This new version mainly addresses features that users have long requested. It brings several new features, performance enhancements and bug fixes. (1/9) github.com/pysal/spreg/

daily commute flows with libpysal and lonboard knaaptime.com/longraph/ the Graph and the GPU go great together

The July 2024 release of PySAL metapackage is available on pypi and conda-forge x.com/knaaptime/stat…
