Self-Dissimilarity: An Empirically Observable Complexity Measure
For systems usually characterized as \complex/living/intelligent" very often the spatio-temporal patterns exhibited on di erent scales di er markedly from one another. For example the biomass distribution of a human body \looks very di erent" depending on the spatial scale at which one examines that biomass. Conversely, the density patterns at di erent scales in \dead/simple" systems (e.g., gas...
متن کاملAn alternative inequality-based concentration measure
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it shows the properties that regional economics is implicitly assuming when “relative” inequality measures, such as the Gini coefficient and the generalized entropy family of indexes, are used to quantify the geographic concentration of economic activity. Second, it proposes a new geographic concentration index that is based on an “absolute” inequality m...
متن کاملA Standardized Measurement of Plasma Insulin Concentration
The notion that insulin resistance is associated with a cluster of abnormalities that increase risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) was introduced in 1988,1 and this view continues to gain traction. The study by Robins et al2 provides additional support for the link between insulin resistance and CHD, but it also emphasizes that a good deal remains to be learned about this relationship. For exa...
متن کاملTaking the Measure of Ideology: Empirically Measuring Supreme Court Cases
INTRODUCTION Although the tools of empirical legal analysis have become increasingly sophisticated, much of this development has been asymmetrical. Empiricists have developed numerous ways of assessing the inputs of legal processes-especially in relation to judicial ideology-however, until very recently, there have been no comparably sophisticated measures of the outputs of legal processes case...
متن کاملLecture 2: Concentration of Measure
In the proof, we used both finite-ness of H and the realizability assumptions in a crucial way. But we already saw one problem where the theorem does not apply, namely learning linear separators, where |H| =∞. Of course it is more common than not that realizability is not satisfied, so we’d also like some sort of guarantee in the absence of realizability. In the next few lectures we will build ...
