Characterizing unstructured data with the nearest neighbor permutation entropy
Leonardo G. J. M. Voltarelli, Arthur A. B. Pessa, Luciano Zunino +4
Permutation entropy and its associated frameworks are remarkable examples of physics-inspired techniques adept at processing complex and extensive datasets. Despite substantial pro…
Jackpot statistics, a physicist's approach
István Gere, Szabolcs Kelemen, Zoltán Néda +1
At a first glance lottery is a form of gambling, a game in which the chances of winning is extremely small. But upon a deeper look, considering that the Jackpot prize of lotteries…
Clustering free-falling paper motion with complexity and entropy
Arthur A. B. Pessa, Matjaz Perc, Haroldo V. Ribeiro
Many simple natural phenomena are characterized by complex motion that appears random at first glance, but that often displays underlying patterns and behavior that can be clustere…
Determining liquid crystal properties with ordinal networks and machine learning
Arthur A. B. Pessa, Rafael S. Zola, Matjaz Perc +1
Machine learning methods are becoming increasingly important for the development of materials science. In spite of this, the use of image analysis in the development of these syste…
Time window to constrain the corner value of the global seismic-moment distribution
Alvaro Corral, Isabel Serra
It is well accepted that, at the global scale, the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) law describing the distribution of earthquake magnitude or seismic moment has to be modified at the tail t…
The distinct flavors of Zipf's law in the rank-size and in the size-distribution representations, and its maximum-likelihood fitting
Alvaro Corral, Isabel Serra, Ramon Ferrer-i-Cancho
In the last years, researchers have realized the difficulties of fitting power-law distributions properly. These difficulties are higher in Zipf's systems, due to the discreteness…
