Haven't myself, but know some automakers do GIS "gravity models" for figuring out dealer placement

Instead of a gravity model for location analytics I'd suggest you get a mobile panel (safegraph, foursquare, placeiq, etc). Map the panel to demographics (e.g. experian) based on home location. Then tag cell phones to dealership visits, build a profile for people that visit your dealer. Then use that profile to scout new locations based on travel patterns.

That said most of the hardwork is probably done since dealerships like furniture stores tend to cluster. It's like putting in a fast food restaurant. You can probably drop it next to McDonald's and it'll be ok.

Edit: Beyond travel patterns you should add covariates like number of dealerships in X radius to the model. Plenty of ways to be creative here.

Hi All,

I had an offer from CGI for 14lpa two months ago. I rejected it as I received an offer from a product based company for 19lpa+5L stocks. Now I am not able to handle the pressure in this Product company and want to go back to CGI. Can I apply to CGI again? Will they take me? Is there any duration to apply again. Please help.

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I'm currently working in Marketing Analytics (primarily using SQL and a bit of pyspark). Apart from mastering SQL, I wanted to know from people working at Google what does it take to get there as a Data Scientist? (I'm very interested in Strategy Ops)

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)
