On the robustness of q-expectation values and Renyi entropy
Rudolf Hanel, Stefan Thurner, Constantino Tsallis
We study the robustness of functionals of probability distributions such as the Rényi and nonadditive S_q entropies, as well as the q-expectation values under small variations of t…
Physics of Evolution: Selection without Fitness
Rudolf Hanel, Stefan Thurner
Traditionally evolution is seen as a process where from a pool of possible variations of a population (e.g. biological species or industrial goods) a few variations get selected wh…
Parkinson's Law Quantified: Three Investigations on Bureaucratic Inefficiency
Peter Klimek, Rudolf Hanel, Stefan Thurner
We formulate three famous, descriptive essays of C.N. Parkinson on bureaucratic inefficiency in a quantifiable and dynamical socio-physical framework. In the first model we show ho…
Stability criteria for q-expectation values
Rudolf Hanel, Stefan Thurner
In statistical physics lately a specific kind of average, called the q-expectation value, has been extensively used in the context of q-generalized statistics dealing with distribu…
A fast and efficient gene-network reconstruction method from multiple over-expression experiments
Dejan Stokic, Rudolf Hanel, Stefan Thurner
Reverse engineering of gene regulatory networks presents one of the big challenges in systems biology. Gene regulatory networks are usually inferred from a set of single-gene over-…
Pruning the Tree of Life: k-core Percolation as Selection Mechanism
Peter Klimek, Stefan Thurner, Rudolf Hanel
We propose a model for evolution aiming to reproduce statistical features of fossil data, in particular the distributions of extinction events, the distribution of species per genu…
