Determining individual phase response curves from aggregate population data

Determining individual phase response curves from aggregate population data.

Phase reduction is an invaluable technique for investigating the dynamics of nonlinear limit cycle oscillators. Central to the implementation of phase reduction is the ability to calculate phase response curves (PRCs), which describe an oscillator's response to an external perturbation. Current experimental techniques for inferring PRCs require data from individual oscillators, which can be imp...

On Determining Individual Behaviour from Population Data

Predicting Individual Response with Aggregate Data: A Conditional Means Approach

Researchers often predict individual behavior using a combination of individual and aggregate variables (e.g., zip code means). We show that in a linear model coefficients associated with individual variables will be inconsistently estimated if those variables are correlated with the underlying individual variables summarized to obtain the aggregate group means. Consistent estimates can be obta...

An Efficient Method for Determining Capillary Pressure and Relative Permeability Curves from Spontaneous Imbibition Data

In this paper, a very efficient method, called single matrix block analyzer (SMBA), has been developed to determine relative permeability and capillary pressure curves from spontaneous imbibition (SI) data. SMBA mimics realistically the SI tests by appropriate boundary conditions modeling. In the proposed method, a cuboid with an identical core plug height is considered. The equal dimensions of...
