(2021-12-22)
This research aimed to analyze the impact that socioeconomic and urban vari- ables have on crime rates for Rio de Janeiro. To achieve that, we structured a dataset containing, for each neighborhood, the per capita crime ...
Exploring spatial data on crime analysis
(2021-12-22)
This research project aims to analyse the spatial relation between the distribution of crime and the presence of amenities in the city of São Paulo. To that aim, we employ a spatial-aware regression model, Geographically ...
