A Regression-discontinuity Observatory of Spatial Thresholds
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities treats an unenforced feeding-exclusion line around six campus food-court precincts as a natural regression-discontinuity boundary, finding pigeon density falls sharply on crossing it, and reports the observatory built to validate the method against the wider set of administrative boundaries it is now being pointed at.
