Measuring the Complexity of Continuous Distributions
Guillermo Santamaría-Bonfil, Nelson Fernández, Carlos Gershenson
We extend previously proposed measures of complexity, emergence, and self-organization to continuous distributions using differential entropy. This allows us to calculate the compl…
When slower is faster
Carlos Gershenson, Dirk Helbing
The slower is faster (SIF) effect occurs when a system performs worse as its components try to do better. Thus, a moderate individual efficiency actually leads to a better systemic…
Rank diversity of languages: Generic behavior in computational linguistics
Germinal Cocho, Jorge Flores, Carlos Gershenson +2
Statistical studies of languages have focused on the rank-frequency distribution of words. Instead, we introduce here a measure of how word ranks change in time and call this distr…
Urban transfer entropy across scales
Roberto Murcio, Robin Morphet, Carlos Gershenson +1
The morphology of urban agglomeration is studied here in the context of information exchange between different spatio-temporal scales. Cities are multidimensional non-linear phenom…
