'Calculating distance from centroid to another point in Python
I have a data frame like below
STORE_ID LATITUDE LONGITUDE GROUP
1 18.2738 28.38833 2
2 18.3849 28.29374 1
3 18.3948 28.29303 1
4 18.1949 28.28248 1
5 18.2947 28.47392 1
6 18.7493 28.29475 2
7 18.4729 28.38392 3
8 18.1927 28.29485 2
9 18.2948 28.29384 1
10 18.1038 28.29489 3
11 18.7482 28.29374 1
12 18.9283 28.28484 2
And a second data frame like below
Tele_Booth_ID LATITUDE LONGITUDE
1 18.5638 28.19374
2 18.2947 28.03727
3 18.3849 28.26395
4 18.9482 28.91847
The first data frame has longitudes and latitudes of stores in a certain area. The store are grouped together into clusters represented by the GROUP field.
The second dataframe has longitudes and latitudes for telephone booths in that same area.
Using both these data frames I want to find the optimal locations to place more telephone booths.
If a store group has no telephone booths in the cluster or near the cluster, I would want to put a booth there. If a store group has a booth within the cluster, I would not want another booth there.
Using python how can I calculate the center point for each store group and then calculate the distance of each store group to the nearest booth?
