Column `floor` used in analysis yet not prepared during cleaning

[Gutschlhofer]

Checking summary statistics I found that the column floor contains some -9 values in the final purchases and prices datasets. Then I saw that it is not included in the cleaning script.

Hi Jackob,

That is right. It's not part of the hedonics either.

I do not remember now, but I find the floor variable not interesting or incomplete—not to mention it's only relevant for apartments—and instead went with num_floors. If you think otherwise, please send a pr.

Thank you.

It is part of the hedonics, that's why I was wondering:

cleaning-RWI-GEO-RED/hedonic-model_prices.R

Line 17 in ff39933

"condition", "balcony", "garden", "kitchen", "floor"

But I have the feeling that the floor is very important in choosing apartments, no?

I'll probably get to it within the next week.

Oh, that isn't good. I figured that now we have purchases of homes and apartments together. When I started, it was all home purchases (HK), and floor was not part of the hedonics. floor was added to the model later on—after we brought HK and WK together.

Sorry for the artifacts, but we will add a few cleaning lines for floor.
