Scalable inference of spatial regions and temporal signatures from time series
Jiayu Weng, Alec Kirkley
Regionalization aims to partition a spatial domain into contiguous regions that share similar characteristics, enabling more effective spatial analysis, policy making, and resource…
Transfer entropy for finite data
Alec Kirkley
Transfer entropy is a widely used measure for quantifying directed information flows in complex systems. While the challenges of estimating transfer entropy for continuous data are…
Estimation of partial rankings from sparse, noisy comparisons
Sebastian Morel-Balbi, Alec Kirkley
Ranking items based on pairwise comparisons is common, from using match outcomes to rank sports teams to using purchase or survey data to rank consumer products. Statistical infere…
Urban Boundary Delineation from Commuting Data with Bayesian Stochastic Blockmodeling: Scale, Contiguity, and Hierarchy
Sebastian Morel-Balbi, Alec Kirkley
A common method for delineating urban and suburban boundaries is to identify clusters of spatial units that are highly interconnected in a network of commuting flows, each cluster…
