Spatial Data Meta - Model Steven
نویسنده
چکیده
Increasing recognition of the extent and speed of habitat fragmentation and loss, particularly in the urban fringe, is driving the need to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively regional landscape structure for decision support in land-use planning and environmental policy implementation. The spatial analysis required in this area is not well served by existing spatial data models. In this paper, a new theoretical spatial data meta-model is introduced as a tool for addressing such needs and a new formalism is presented for spatial data models based on ideas from mathematical graph theory and category theory. Additionally, this formalism is used to describe a specific spatial data model useful within the problem domain of decision support for socio-ecological systems. This model explicitly includes the notion of graph duality.

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Convergence of semantics and emotional expression within the IFG pars orbitalis" (Belyk et al., 2017) [1]. The research article reports a spatial meta-analysis of brain imaging experiments on the perception of semantic compared to emotional communicative signals in humans. This Data in Brief article demonstrates an...
متن کاملThe Spatial Resolution of Epidemic Peaks
The emergence of novel respiratory pathogens can challenge the capacity of key health care resources, such as intensive care units, that are constrained to serve only specific geographical populations. An ability to predict the magnitude and timing of peak incidence at the scale of a single large population would help to accurately assess the value of interventions designed to reduce that peak....

Spatial information takes different forms in different applications, ranging from accurate coordinates in geographic information systems to the qualitative abstractions that are used in artificial intelligence and spatial cognition. As a result, existing spatial information processing techniques tend to be tailored towards one type of spatial information, and cannot readily be extended to cope ...
متن کاملSpatial Modeling of Censored Survival Data
An important issue in survival data analysis is the identification of risk factors. Some of these factors are identifiable and explainable by presence of some covariates in the Cox proportional hazard model, while the others are unidentifiable or even immeasurable. Spatial correlation of censored survival data is one of these sources that are rarely considered in the literatures. In this paper,...
متن کاملSpatial Correlation Testing for Errors in Panel Data Regression Model
To investigate the spatial error correlation in panel regression models, various statistical hypothesizes and testings have been proposed. This paper, within introduction to spatial panel data regression model, existence of spatial error correlation and random effects is investigated by a joint Lagrange Multiplier test, which simultaneously tests their existence. For this purpose, joint Lagrang...
