1. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0201890
2. A novel rare event approach to measure the randomness and concentration of road accidents
3. Please read the above article and answer the following questions (about one to one and half pages total for the assignment).
4. QUESTIONS:

1. What are the challenges to analyzing data for road traffic accidents?
2. What are the authors’ main points in their discussion of heat maps?
3. How do the authors’ show that road traffic accidents are not homogenously distributed?
4. What is the authors’ rationale for applying the Poission distribution?
5. Please also discuss the use of accident rates in the Poisson discussion instead of counts.
6. What is the Rare Event Concentration Coefficient (RECC), what is the motivation for the RECC and how would a city planner use?
