How Complex Is a Fractal? Head/tail Breaks and Fractional Hierarchy
Bin Jiang, Ding Ma
A fractal bears a complex structure that is reflected in a scaling hierarchy, indicating that there are far more small things than large ones. This scaling hierarchy can be effecti…
Head/tail Breaks: A New Classification Scheme for Data with a Heavy-tailed Distribution
Bin Jiang
This paper introduces a new classification scheme - head/tail breaks - in order to find groupings or hierarchy for data with a heavy-tailed distribution. The heavy-tailed distribut…
Exploring Human Mobility Patterns Based on Location Information of US Flights
Bin Jiang, Tao Jia
A range of early studies have been conducted to illustrate human mobility patterns using different tracking data, such as dollar notes, cell phones and taxicabs. Here, we explore h…
Scaling of Geographic Space as a Universal Rule for Map Generalization
Bin Jiang, Xintao Liu, Tao Jia
Map generalization is a process of producing maps at different levels of detail by retaining essential properties of the underlying geographic space. In this paper, we explore how…
Measuring Urban Sprawl Based on Massive Street Nodes and the Novel Concept of Natural Cities
Tao Jia, Bin Jiang
In this paper, we develop a novel approach to measuring urban sprawl based on street nodes and naturally defined urban boundaries, both extracted from massive volunteered geographi…
Scaling of Geographic Space from the Perspective of City and Field Blocks and Using Volunteered Geographic Information
Bin Jiang, Xintao Liu
Scaling of geographic space refers to the fact that for a large geographic area its small constituents or units are much more common than the large ones. This paper develops a nove…
