Exam: Nice Demo City, But Will It Scale? (Advanced Data Analysis from an Elementary Point of View)

In which we compare the power-law scaling model of urban economies due to Bettencourt, West, et al. to an alternative in which city size is actually irrelevant.

This was a one-week take-home exam, intended to use more or less everything taught so far.

Assignment, master data set (each student got a random subset of this)

Not exactly a model exam paper.
