Assembling ensembling: An adventure in approaches across disciplines
Amanda Bleichrodt, Sadie J. Ryan, Lydia Bourouiba +4
When discussing model ensembling or ensemble modeling, a term arises across numerous disciplines, what is meant by it can vary drastically. The very meaning of 'ensemble' - a colle…
When is Enough Enough? A Proposed Termination Point for the Number of Replicates in Computational Simulations
Eric T. Lofgren, Kellen Myers, Nina H. Fefferman
Computational simulation provides a powerful toolkit for in silico experimentation. However, while the field has developed best practices for the design and implementation of such…
Targeted Disruption of Hypernetworks via Spectral Partitioning
Mark M. Bailey, Matthew J. Hasenjager, Nina H. Fefferman
We study hyperedge-removal strategies for suppressing contagion on synthetic hypergraphs. Hypergraphs are generated from ErdÅs--Rényi, Barabási--Albert, and Watts--Strogatz seed…
Classification of dynamics for a two person model of planned behavior
Rishi Dadlani, John S. McAlister, Tahra L. Eissa +1
We study a dynamical system modeling the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in which each individual's behavioral intention evolves continuously under an ODE driven by internal attit…
Nonlinear Nonlocal Diffusion Equations for the Analysis of Continuous Coordination and Anti-Coordination Type Games
John S. McAlister, Nina H. Fefferman, Tadele A. Mengesha
Coordination games with explicit spatial or relational structure are of interest to economists, ecologists, sociologists, and others studying emergent global properties in collecti…
A Game Theoretic Treatment of Contagion in Trade Networks
John S. McAlister, Jesse L. Brunner, Danielle J. Galvin +1
Global trade of material goods involves the potential to create pathways for the spread of infectious pathogens. One trade sector in which this synergy is clearly critical is that…
