| Title of Talk | An algorithm for creating "equal" regions |
| Abstract | This talk will discuss an algorithm that is still in development. The goal of the algorithm is to take a large area that has been broken up into counties and use some quantifiable information for each county (e.g., population) to create a given number of geographically compact regions having relatively equal quantities. The speaker will discuss the evolution of the algorithm from first being a greedy algorithm to now being what you might call an "altruistic" algorithm. |
