Maximum-likelihood fits of piece-wise Pareto distributions with finite and non-zero core
Benjamin F. Maier
We discuss multiple classes of piece-wise Pareto-like power law probability density functions with two regimes, a non-pathological core with non-zero, finite values for supp…
Inferring country-specific import risk of diseases from the world air transportation network
Pascal P. Klamser, Adrian Zachariae, Benjamin F. Maier +4
Disease propagation between countries strongly depends on their effective distance, a measure derived from the world air transportation network (WAN). It reduces the complex spread…

Vaccination against COVID-19 with the recently approved mRNA vaccines BNT162b2 (BioNTech/Pfizer) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) is currently underway in a large number of countries. Howev…
COVID-19 lockdown induces disease-mitigating structural changes in mobility networks
Frank Schlosser, Benjamin F. Maier, Olivia Jack +3
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic many countries implemented containment measures to reduce disease transmission. Studies using digital data sources show that the mobility of in…
