Fractals and fractal dimension of systems of blood vessels: An analogy between artery trees, river networks, and urban hierarchies
Yanguang Chen
An analogy between the fractal nature of networks of arteries and that of systems of rivers has been drawn in the previous works. However, the deep structure of the hierarchy of bl…
Describing urban evolution with the fractal parameters based on area-perimeter allometry
Yanguang Chen, Jiejing Wang
The area-perimeter allometric scaling is a basic and important approach for researching fractal cities and has been studied for a long time. However, the boundary dimension of a ci…
Fractal Dimensions Derived from Spatial Allometric Scaling of Urban Form
Yanguang Chen, Yihan Wang, Xijing Li
The improved city clustering algorithm can be used to identify urban boundaries on a digital map, and the results are a set of isolines. The relationships between the urban measure…
A Scaling Approach to Evaluating the Distance Exponent of Urban Gravity Model
Yanguang Chen, Linshan Huang
The gravity model is one of important models of social physics and human geography, but several basic theoretical and methodological problems remain to be solved. In particular, it…
The evolution of Zipf's law indicative of city development
Yanguang Chen
Zipf's law of city-size distributions can be expressed by three types of mathematical models: one-parameter form, two-parameter form, and three-parameter form. The one-parameter an…
Defining urban and rural regions by multifractal spectrums of urbanization
Yanguang Chen
The spatial pattern of urban-rural regional system is associated with the dynamic process of urbanization. How to characterize the urban-rural terrain using quantitative measuremen…
Spatial autocorrelation approaches to testing residuals from least squares regression
Yanguang Chen
In statistics, the Durbin-Watson test is always employed to detect the presence of serial correlation of residuals from a least squares regression analysis. However, the Durbin-Wat…
The Distance-Decay Function of Geographical Gravity Model: Power Law or Exponential Law?
Yanguang Chen
The distance-decay function of the geographical gravity model is originally an inverse power law, which suggests a scaling process in spatial interaction. However, the distance exp…
A New Methodology of Spatial Crosscorrelation Analysis
Yanguang Chen
The idea of spatial crosscorrelation was conceived of long ago. However, unlike the related spatial autocorrelation, the theory and method of spatial crosscorrelation analysis have…
