Scaling and power-laws in ecological systems.
Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling relationships related to energy acquisition and transformation and power-laws related to fluctuations in numbers. Our aim is to show how individual level attributes can help to explain and predict patterns at the ...
متن کاملwind farm impact on generation adequacy in power systems
در سال های اخیر به دلیل افزایش دمای متوسط کره زمین، بشر به دنبال روش های جایگزین برای تامین توان الکتریکی مورد نیاز خود بوده و همچنین در اکثر نقاط جهان سوزاندن سوخت های فسیلی در نیروگاه های حرارتی به عنوان مهم ترین روش تولید توان الکتریکی مطرح بوده است. به دلیل توجه به مسایل زیست محیطی، استفاده از منابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در سال های اخیر شدت یافته است. نیروگاه های بادی به عنوان یک منبع تولید توان...
15 صفحه اولOn fitting power laws to ecological data
Heavy-tailed or power-law distributions are becoming increasingly common in biological literature. A wide range of biological data has been fitted to distributions with heavy tails. Many of these studies use simple fitting methods to find the parameters in the distribution, which can give highly misleading results. The potential pitfalls that can occur when using these methods are pointed out, ...
متن کاملCovariations in ecological scaling laws fostered by community dynamics.
Scaling laws in ecology, intended both as functional relationships among ecologically relevant quantities and the probability distributions that characterize their occurrence, have long attracted the interest of empiricists and theoreticians. Empirical evidence exists of power laws associated with the number of species inhabiting an ecosystem, their abundances, and traits. Although their functi...
متن کاملPower Laws, Zipf’s Law, and Scaling Laws in Human Language and Music
Power-law distributions have been a paradigm of complex systems for several decades. But it has been only recently that attention has been devoted to the proper fitting and goodness-of-fit testing of these distributions; in particular, Clauset et al.’s method is widely cited in this regard [1]. In the first part of the talk we present evidence that this method fails in some concrete examples of...
