Modeling The Stanford Housing Draw
Current functionality:
- Process single simple queries
- Clean housing data
Upcoming functionality:
- Let students assume a drawing number and see which houses they can get into
- Run Monte Carlo simulations on multiple simple queries to determine likeliest housing outcomes
Process Single Simple Queries (processQuery.py)
A simple query will allow a student to input a single housing draw scenario so they can see what chance they have to get certain housing given their gender, tier number, desired residence/room type, and amount of people in applicant group.
Simply, this functionality will answer the following query with a probability:
I am a [gender] applying as [applyType]. If I apply for a [roomType] in [resName] using tier [tierNum], what are my chances of getting in?
Clean Housing Data (cleanHousingData.py)
Take raw housing data from Stanford R&DE Historical Draw Numbers and clean and standardize the data.
