Hi MADlib Developers,
I am a GIS Researcher and have some knowledge on PostGIS, Python, C/C++,Java
and R.
I have learned some spatial statistical models during My PhD research in GIS.
Recently, I have done a job translating GWR (Geographical Weighted Regression)
from R into Java for my company. And I would like to
contribute to MADLib if possible. I believe PostGIS and MADlib are the most
powerful extensions of PostgreSQL . Therefore, a spatial statistical module
connecting the two libraries could be significant . If I can start the task ,
the first goal to implement will be GWR model.
Now I am reading the developer guide of MADlib. I not quite sure how to
contribute a geospatial module to MADlib. Is it possible to manipulate spatial
object or attribute from PostGIS in MADlib ?
So could anyone suggest a few pointers & links that I can follow to get
to know:
1. how to deal with these dependencies about MADlib?
2. whether the spatial statistics module is suitable for MADlib？
Thank you in advance.
