Photometric Effects and Voronoi-Diagrams as a Mixed Model for the Spatial Distribution of Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the model of the Voronoi Diagrams which allows to reproduce the large-scale structures of our universe as given by the astronomical catalogs. The observed number of galaxies in a given solid angle with a chosen flux/magnitude versus the redshift presents a maximum that is a function of the flux/magnitude ; it can be explained by a detailed analysis of the standard luminosity function for galaxies as well by two new luminosity function for galaxies. The current status of the research on the statistics of the Voronoi Diagrams is reviewed.

A Geometrical Model for the Catalogs of Galaxies
The 3D network originated by the faces of irregular Poissonian Voronoi polyhedra may represent the backbone on which the galaxies are originated. As a consequence the spatial appearance of the catalogs of galaxies can be reproduced. The selected catalogs to simulate are the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and the Third Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies. In order to explain the number of observed ...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملOn the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe as given by the Voronoi Diagrams
The size distributions of 2D and 3D Voronoi cells and of cells of V p(2, 3),—2D cut of 3D Voronoi diagram—are explored, with the single-parameter (re-scaled) gamma distribution playing a central role in the analytical fitting. Observational evidence for a cellular universe is briefly reviewed. A simulated Vp(2, 3) map with galaxies lying on the cell boundaries is constructed to compare, as rega...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملMobile Robot Online Motion Planning Using Generalized Voronoi Graphs
In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...
