Fluctuation Scaling, Taylor’s Law, and Crime
Fluctuation scaling relationships have been observed in a wide range of processes ranging from internet router traffic to measles cases. Taylor's law is one such scaling relationship and has been widely applied in ecology to understand communities including trees, birds, human populations, and insects. We show that monthly crime reports in the UK show complex fluctuation scaling which can be ap...
متن کاملScaling-Law and Fluctuation in Gene Expression
In our post-genomic era, by using DNA microarrays and GeneChips technologies, the amount of mRNA contained in cells from different tissues and organisms can be collected at different time points. Moreover, the abundance of mRNA of a gene (i.e., gene expression) fluctuates in time, and it reveals correlations among many genes. Although there are currently many efforts to understand the gene regu...
متن کاملFluctuation scaling versus gap scaling
∝ 〈n|A〉2α with 1/2 ≥ α ≥ 1 when a parameter A (usually the system size) is varied. A can be the strength of the node, the capitalization of the firm or the area of the habitat. On the other hand, quantities often obey gap scaling meaning that their density function depends on, say, the system size A as P (n|A) = nF (n/A). This note describes that these two notions cannot coexist except when α =...
متن کاملChemical Measurement and Fluctuation Scaling.
Fluctuation scaling reports on all processes producing a data set. Some fluctuation scaling relationships, such as the Horwitz curve, follow exponential dispersion models which have useful properties. The mean-variance method applied to Poisson distributed data is a special case of these properties allowing the gain of a system to be measured. Here, a general method is described for investigati...
متن کاملLaw Enforcement and Juvenile Crime
This Bulletin describes the extent and characteristics of juvenile arrests. It provides arrest rates for violent and property crimes, drug and weapon offenses, and violations of alcohol, curfew, and loitering laws. Arrests and arrest trends for males and females and for diverse racial groups are compared. The Bulletin also details the characteristics of the victims and the perpetrators of homic...
