wow, that sure looks like it could be automated, starting with the indexing passes (script them in Python maybe?) and slowly factoring out bits of it into sklearn modules or whatever. Alternatively, as a batch job spawned from within R, but that would get annoying over time. Still, the idea is great and it sounds like you guys end up with time to go kayaking etc. I'd think that Microsoft would be bending over backwards to get you to run the R stuff on Azure, since they bought the Revolution operation to show off such things. In the long term I imagine that you'll move most of this to Python. You might consider poaching some spatial statistics people from Uber. Like, say, some of the women. At least if the market is big and robust enough to bring in some heavy hitters. It seems like a lot of the steps might be automated with convolutions and validated against your expert pool, but I can't say for sure. Neat projects. Best of luck.
