A New Approach to Measuring Socio-Spatial Economic Segregation
In this paper we propose two measures of income segregation, the rank-order information theory index (HR), and the rank-order variation ratio index (HR). We propose spatially-explicit versions of these indices as well. These indices have several appealing features that remedy flaws in existing measures. First, they are relatively easy to compute, since they require simply computing a series of ...
متن کاملMeasuring Segregation∗
We propose a set of basic properties that any reasonable segregation index should have. We then fully characterize the class of segregation indices that satisfy these basic properties. We show that every such index has a particular simple form. Finally, we show that with one rarely used exception, each index defined in the literature violates one or more of our basic properties.

متن کاملWhen are synchronization errors small?
We address the question of bounds on the synchronization error for the case of nearly identical nonlinear systems. It is pointed out that negative largest conditional Lyapunov exponents of the synchronization manifold are not sufficient to guarantee a small synchronization error and that one has to find bounds for the deformation of the manifold due to perturbations. We present an analytic boun...
متن کاملWhen Small Effects Are Impressive
Effect size is becoming an increasingly popular measure of the importance of an effect, both in individual studies and in meta-analyses. However, a large effect size is not the only way to demonstrate that an effect is important. This article describes 2 alternative methodological strategies, in which importance is a function of how minimal a manipulation of the independent variable or how diff...
متن کاملWhen are epsilon-nets small?
Given a range space (X,R), where X is a set equipped with probability measure P and the family of measurable subsets R ⊂ 2X , and ǫ > 0, an ǫ-net is a subset of X in the support of P , which intersects each R ∈ R with P (R) ≥ ǫ. In many interesting situations the size of ǫ-nets depends only on ǫ together with different complexity measures. The aim of this paper is to give a systematic treatment...
