In light of the burgeoning interest in network analysis in the new millenium, we bring to the attention of contemporary network theorists, a two-stage double-standarization and hierarchical clustering (single-linkage-like) procedure devised…
Most nations of the world periodically publish N x N origin-destination tables, recording the number of people who lived in geographic subdivision i at time t and j at t+1. We have developed and widely applied to such national tables and…
The structure of many complex networks includes edge directionality and weights on top of their topology. Network analysis that can seamlessly consider combination of these properties are desirable. In this paper, we study two important…
This study aims to propose effective modeling and approach for designing a logistics network in the urban area in order to offer an efficient flow distribution network as a competitive strategy in the logistics industry where demand is…
Graph clustering is a fundamental problem that has been extensively studied both in theory and practice. The problem has been defined in several ways in literature and most of them have been proven to be NP-Hard. Due to their high practical…
The present work investigates clustering of a graph-based representation of industrial connections derived from international trade data by Hidalgo et al (2007) and confirms existence of around ten industrial clusters that are reasonably…
High demands for industrial networks lead to increasingly large sensor networks. However, the complexity of networks and demands for accurate data require better stability and communication quality. Conventional clustering methods for…
Clustering is the propensity of nodes that share a common neighbour to be connected. It is ubiquitous in many networks but poses many modelling challenges. Clustering typically manifests itself by a higher than expected frequency of…
To control for multiscale effects in networks, one can transform the matrix of (in general) weighted, directed internodal flows to bistochastic (doubly-stochastic) form, using the iterative proportional fitting (Sinkhorn-Knopp) procedure,…
Random walks can reveal communities or clusters in networks, because they are more likely to stay within a cluster than leave it. Thus, one family of community detection algorithms uses random walks to measure distance between pairs of…
The problem of clustering large complex networks plays a key role in several scientific fields ranging from Biology to Sociology and Computer Science. Many approaches to clustering complex networks are based on the idea of maximizing a…
Relationship between agents can be conveniently represented by graphs. When these relationships have different modalities, they are better modelled by multilayer graphs where each layer is associated with one modality. Such graphs arise…
A city (or an urban cluster) is not an isolated spatial unit, but a combination of areas with closely linked socio-economic activities. However, so far, we lack a consistent and quantitative approach to define multi-level urban clusters…
In this paper, we aim to monitor the flow of people in large public infrastructures. We propose an unsupervised methodology to cluster people flow patterns into the most typical and meaningful configurations. By processing 3D images from a…
The Cluster Variation Method known in statistical mechanics and condensed matter is revived for weighted bipartite networks. The decomposition of a Hamiltonian through a finite number of components, whence serving to define variable…
After generalizing the concept of clusters to incorporate clusters that are linked to other clusters through some relatively narrow bridges, an approach for detecting patches of separation between these clusters is developed based on an…
The problem of finding groups in data (cluster analysis) has been extensively studied by researchers from the fields of Statistics and Computer Science, among others. However, despite its popularity it is widely recognized that the…
Clustering points in a vector space or nodes in a graph is a ubiquitous primitive in statistical data analysis, and it is commonly used for exploratory data analysis. In practice, it is often of interest to "refine" or "improve" a given…
In this paper we propose a new approach for Big Data mining and analysis. This new approach works well on distributed datasets and deals with data clustering task of the analysis. The approach consists of two main phases, the first phase…
Usual formulations of the clustering coefficient can be shown to be insufficient in the task of describing the local topology of very simple networks. Motivated by this, we review some alternatives in order to present an extension, the…
