A model needs to make verifiable predictions to have any scientific value. In opinion dynamics, the study of how individuals exchange opinions with one another, there are many theo…
Mathematical measures of societal polarisation
Johnathan A. Adams, Gentry White, Robyn P. Araujo
In opinion dynamics, as in general usage, polarisation is subjective. To understand polarisation, we need to develop more precise methods to measure the agreement in society. This…
Direct Sampling of Bayesian Thin-Plate Splines for Spatial Smoothing
Gentry White, Dongchu Sun, Paul Speckman
Radial basis functions are a common mathematical tool used to construct a smooth interpolating function from a set of data points. A spatial prior based on thin-plate spline radial…
