Community Vibrancy and its Relationship with Safety in Philadelphia
Wichinpong Park Sinchaisri, Shane T. Jensen
To what extent can the strength of a local urban community impact neighborhood safety? We construct measures of community vibrancy based on a unique dataset of block party permit a…
Crime in Philadelphia: Bayesian Clustering with Particle Optimization
Cecilia Balocchi, Sameer K. Deshpande, Edward I. George +1
Accurate estimation of the change in crime over time is a critical first step towards better understanding of public safety in large urban environments. Bayesian hierarchical model…
Spatial Modeling of Trends in Crime over Time in Philadelphia
Cecilia Balocchi, Shane T. Jensen
Understanding the relationship between change in crime over time and the geography of urban areas is an important problem for urban planning. Accurate estimation of changing crime…
Urban Vibrancy and Safety in Philadelphia
Colman Humphrey, Shane T. Jensen, Dylan Small +1
Statistical analyses of urban environments have been recently improved through publicly available high resolution data and mapping technologies that have been adopted across indust…
Locating recombination hot spots in genomic sequences through the singular value decomposition
Jordan Rodu, Shane T. Jensen
Locating recombination hotspots in genomic data is an important but difficult task. Current methods frequently rely on estimating complicated models at high computational cost. In…
Power Weighted Densities for Time Series Data
Daniel M. McCarthy, Shane T. Jensen
While time series prediction is an important, actively studied problem, the predictive accuracy of time series models is complicated by non-stationarity. We develop a fast and effe…
