Sloppiness and Emergent Theories in Physics, Biology, and Beyond
Mark K. Transtrum, Benjamin Machta, Kevin Brown +3
Large scale models of physical phenomena demand the development of new statistical and computational tools in order to be effective. Many such models are `sloppy', i.e., exhibit be…
Two-strain competition in quasi-neutral stochastic disease dynamics
Oleg Kogan, Michael Khasin, Baruch Meerson +2
We develop a new perturbation method for studying quasi-neutral competition in a broad class of stochastic competition models, and apply it to the analysis of fixation of competing…
The sloppy model universality class and the Vandermonde matrix
Joshua J. Waterfall, Fergal P. Casey, Ryan N. Gutenkunst +5
In a variety of contexts, physicists study complex, nonlinear models with many unknown or tunable parameters to explain experimental data. We explain why such systems so often are…
Software systems as complex networks: structure, function, and evolvability of software collaboration graphs
C. R. Myers
Software systems emerge from mere keystrokes to form intricate functional networks connecting many collaborating modules, objects, classes, methods, and subroutines. Building on re…
Crackling Noise
James P. Sethna, Karin A. Dahmen, Christopher R. Myers
Crackling noise arises when a system responds to changing external conditions through discrete, impulsive events spanning a broad range of sizes. A wide variety of physical systems…
