Zipf's law in city size from a resource utilization model.
We study a resource utilization scenario characterized by intrinsic fitness. To describe the growth and organization of different cities, we consider a model for resource utilization where many restaurants compete, as in a game, to attract customers using an iterative learning process. Results for the case of restaurants with uniform fitness are reported. When fitness is uniformly distributed, ...
متن کاملApplications and Explanations of Zipf's Law
Recently I have been intrigued by the reappearance of an old friend, George Kingsley Zipf, in a number of not entirely expected places. The law named for him is ubiquitous, but Zipf did not actually discover the law so much as provide a plausible explanation. Others have proposed modifications to Zipf's Law, and closer examination uncovers systematic deviations from its normative form. We demon...
متن کاملContingent Payment Mechanisms to Maximize Resource Utilization
We study the problem of assigning resources in order to maximize the probability of resource utilization. This is a sensible design goal in many settings with shared resources. Each agent has private information about its value distribution for different assignments. A mechanism elicits information about value distributions, using this information to determine an assignment along with payments,...
متن کاملA New Approach To Expert System Explanations
Expert systems were one of the rst applications to emerge from initial research in arti cial intelligence, and the explanation of expert system reasoning was one of the rst applications of natural language generation. This is because the need for explanations is obvious, and generation from a knowledge-based application such as reasoning should be relatively straightforward. However, while expl...
متن کاملMeasuring Resource Utilization
A variety of methods may be used to obtain costing data. Although administrative data are most commonly used, the data available in these datasets are often limited. An alternative method of obtaining costing is through self-reported questionnaires. Currently, there are no systematic reviews that summarize self-reported resource utilization instruments from the published literature.The aim of t...
