Multidimensional scaling is a statistical process that aims to embed high dimensional data into a lower-dimensional space; this process is often used for the purpose of data visualisation. Common multidimensional scaling algorithms tend to…
Using a geographical scale-free network to describe relations between people in a city, we explain both superlinear and sublinear allometric scaling of urban indicators that quantify activities or performances of the city. The urban…
We design a stochastic individual-based model structured in energy, for single species consuming an external resource, where populations are characterized by a typical energy at birth in $\mathbb{R}^{*}_{+}$. The resource is maintained at a…
Almost block diagonal linear systems of equations can be exemplified by two modules. This makes it possible to construct all sequential forms of band and/or block elimination methods, six old and fourteen new. It allows easy assessment of…
We adapt concepts, methodology, and theory originally developed in the areas of multidimensional scaling and dimensionality reduction for multivariate data to the functional setting. We focus on classical scaling and Isomap -- prototypical…
The origin of allometric scaling of metabolic rate is a long-standing question in biology. Several models have been proposed for explaining the origin; however, they have advantages and disadvantages. In particular, previous models only…
The number of studies for the analysis of remote sensing images has been growing exponentially in the last decades. Many studies, however, only report results---in the form of certain performance metrics---by a few selected algorithms on a…
This paper is mainly devoted to lay an empirical foundation for further research on complex spatial dynamics of two-population interaction. Based on the US population census data, a rural and urban population interaction model is developed.…
City is proved to be a scale-free phenomenon, and spatial autocorrelation is often employed to analyze spatial redundancy of cities. Unfortunately, spatial analysis results deviated practical requirement in many cases due to fractal nature…
Measurement is a fundamental building block of numerous scientific models and their creation. This is in particular true for data driven science. Due to the high complexity and size of modern data sets, the necessity for the development of…
The time series of fractal dimension values of urban form always take on sigmoid curves. The basic model of these curves is logistic function. From the logistic model of fractal dimension curves, we can derive the growth rate formula and…
Growth is a multi-layered phenomenon in human societies, composed of socioeconomic and demographic change at many different scales. Yet, standard macroeconomic indicators average over most of these processes, blurring the spatial and…
This paper explores the extension of the idea of allometric urban scaling law to study the scaling behaviour of Indian districts, with both the urban and rural population. To proceed, we have chosen districts (both rural and urban) of…
An ecological flow network is a weighted directed graph in which nodes are species, edges are "who eats whom" relationships and weights are rates of energy or nutrients transfer between species. Allometric scaling is a ubiquitous feature…
Urban scaling laws relate socio-economic, behavioral, and physical variables to the population size of cities and allow for a new paradigm of city planning, and an understanding of urban resilience and economies. Independently of culture…
This paper presents a homogenization framework for elastomeric metamaterials exhibiting long-range correlated fluctuation fields. Based on full-scale numerical simulations on a class of such materials, an ansatz is proposed that allows to…
For the first time the systems of cities in seven countries or regions among the largest in the world (China, India, Brazil, Europe, the Former Soviet Union (FSU), the United States and South Africa) are made comparable through the building…
A number of spatial statistic measurements such as Moran's I and Geary's C can be used for spatial autocorrelation analysis. Spatial autocorrelation modeling proceeded from the 1-dimension autocorrelation of time series analysis, with time…
The investigations of financial markets from a complex network perspective have unveiled many phenomenological properties, in which the majority of these studies map the financial markets into one complex network. In this work, we…
Multidimensional scaling is an important dimension reduction tool in statistics and machine learning. Yet few theoretical results characterizing its statistical performance exist, not to mention any in high dimensions. By considering a…
