The already somewhat sizeable ValEngr will be expanded with the newer earthUI, glmnetUI and mgcvUI programs. While ValEngr will not be public, eventually only subscription, the other three I plan to keep open source as a matter of keeping the actual algorithms for regression and RCA open source - and transparent.
The rest of ValEngr will be geared toward scheduled regressions across wide swaths of regional areas, so that the very advanced appraisers can develop their own superior AVM. Reports will be generated in Quarto. which is also markdown and can be easily converted to HTML, Word or PDF. Therefore, you could have Quarto reports created for each city in a county and then combine parts of them as you see fit into a larger document. So, for example, you could have a program that creates models for all the counties around the SF Bay Area every 3 months (or for all I know, every month). --- And that is probably one of the first things I will do.
Probably only one appraiser per county (or possibly multi-county region) will be licensed. In fact, there just aren't that many appraisers around who can handle MARS. So, anyway, I might not have any customers for a while.
This will also handle most languages and geographical areas around the world, and of course, special areas like Louisiana. It will handle languages such as Japanese and Thai. I need to get some foreign datasets for testing. Right now looking for German, French and UK. And something from somewhere in South or Central America.
