That measures nothing but outliers: consider that changing anything between the two rectangles would leave that metric unchanged.

- bckygldstn 10y agoIt seems like it would be an excellent method if you could address the outlier issue though. One approach would be to relax the rectangles, so the outer one only has to circumscribe 95% of the country's area. A similar approach is used in biology to define animal territories: A kernel density estimate is taken of historical animal positions and thresholded, rather than a minimum convex polygon.
