In this paper, we study the shortest distance of a point to line and area triangle in Iso-taxicab Geometry

Does the level of sunlight affect the tipping percentage in taxicab rides in New York City? We examined this question using data on 13.82 million cab rides from January to October in 2009 in New York City combined with data on hourly levels of solar radiation. We found a small but statistically significant positive relationship between sunlight and tipping, with an estimated tipping increase of...

Music theorists have typically measured the distance between chords simply by summing the displacements of each voice (the “taxicab metric”). Our research tested this assumption of linearity and the influence of other factors such as tuning environment and direction of motion. In two related experiments, participants listened to pairs of trichords and rated their perceived musical distance. As ...

We compare the statistical analysis of indicator matrices and Burt tables by correspondence analysis (CA) and taxicab correspondence analysis (TCA). There are two new results in this paper. First, TCA of a Burt table corresponds to a particular kind of CA of the indicator matrix based on the centroid decomposition. Second, the response patterns in multiple TCA will be represented as (number of ...

This paper proposes a model of a cruising taxicab industry under laissez faire pricing and free entry, and compares it with alternative regimes including collusive fare setting, collusive restrictions on entry, or both. In the model, under laissez faire, prices are determined by Nash bargaining with complete information and lie above marginal costs. Under laissez faire pricing and free entry th...
