Effective management of critical network infrastructure requires the assessment of potential interdiction scenarios. Optimization
approaches have been essential for identifying and evaluating such scenarios in networked systems. Although a primary function
of any network is the distribution of flow between origins and destinations, the complexity and difficulty of mathematically
abstracting interdiction impacts on connectivity or flow has been a challenge for researchers. This paper presents an optimization
approach for identifying interdiction bounds with respect to connectivity and/or flow associated with a system of origins
and destinations. Application results for telecommunications flow are presented, illustrating the capabilities of this approach.

The ecological fallacy (EF) is a common problem regional scientists have to deal with when using aggregated data in their analyses. Although there is a wide number of studies considering different aspects of this problem, little attention has been paid to the potential negative effects of the EF in a time series context. Using Spanish regional unemployment data, this paper shows that EF effects are not only observed at the cross-section level, but also in a time series framework. The empirical evidence obtained shows that analytical regional configurations are the least susceptible to time effects relative to both normative and random regional configurations, while normative configurations are an improvement over random ones.

Hierarchical spatial interaction among the Italian regions: a nonlinear relative dynamics approach 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Regional interactions and spillover effects should be considered as important factors in growth analysis of regional economies.
Using modified versions of the Dendrinos–Sonis model, this paper analyses the spatial hierarchical system of Italy. The interaction
among Italian regions is considered at three different levels of spatial aggregation, the NUTS-1, NUTS-2 and NUTS-3 levels.
Compared to more popular spatial econometric approaches, the Dendrinos–Sonis model and its extensions provide greater flexibility
in the way interaction between regions is handled but the results strongly depend on the choice of a reference region.

This study adopts the Chiu-fen-erh-shan landslide as a case study for incorporating comprehensive accelerograph and global
positioning system (GPS) data to determine the best-fit acceleration data for analyzing a rock avalanche. Previous investigations
indicate that the distance from an accelerograph to a landslide site is crucial to determining the best-fit acceleration data
to use in conducting a seismic analysis. Unfortunately, the Chiu-fen-erh-shan landslide and its nearest accelerograph station
are located in different geological zones. Thus, GPS data were compared to the displacements derived from the accelerograms
of nearby monitoring stations to help select the best accelerograph data. This emphasizes that a high density distribution
of accelerographs and GPS installations are essential to acquire the best data for the seismic analysis, especially in complex
geological zones. After applying the best-fit accelerogram to Newmark’s sliding model and an empirical displacement attenuation
formula to back-calculate the shear strength parameters of the sliding surface, a cohesion of 0 kPa and friction angle of
the sliding surface of 24.8° were found for this landslide.

Digital mobile mapping, the method that integrates digital imaging with direct geo-referencing, has developed rapidly over
the past 15 years. The Kalman filter (KF) is considered an optimal estimation tool for real-time INS/GPS integrated kinematic
positioning and orientation determination. However, the accuracy requirements of general mobile mapping applications cannot
be easily achieved even when using the KF scheme. Therefore, this study proposes an intelligent scheme combining ANN and RTS
backward smoother to overcome the limitations of KF and to enhance the overall accuracy of attitude determination for tactical
grade and MEMS INS/GPS integrated systems.

Modeling spatial autocorrelation in spatial interaction data: empirical evidence from 2002 Germany journey-to-work flows 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Daniel A. Griffith 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2009,11(2):117-140
Since before the inception of work by Okabe, the intermingling of spatial autocorrelation (i.e., local distance and configuration)
and distance decay (i.e., global distance) effects has been suspected in spatial interaction data. This convolution was first
treated conceptually because technology and methodology did not exist at the time to easily or fully address spatial autocorrelation
effects within spatial interaction model specifications. Today, however, sufficient computer power coupled with eigenfunction-based
spatial filtering offers a means for accommodating spatial autocorrelation effects within a spatial interaction model for
modest-sized problems. In keeping with Okabe’s more recent efforts to dissemination spatial analysis tools, this paper summarizes
how to implement the methodology utilized to analyze a particular empirical flows dataset.

A spatiotemporal analysis of aggregate labour force behaviour by sex and age across the European Union 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
J. Paul Elhorst 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2008,10(2):167-190
This study investigates the causes of variation in age-specific male and female labour force participation rates using annual
data from 154 regions across ten European Union member states for the period 1983–1997. Regional participation rates appear
to be strongly correlated in time, weakly correlated in space and to parallel their national counterparts. An econometric
model is designed consistent with these empirical findings. To control for potential endogeneity of the explanatory variables,
we use an instrumental variables estimation scheme based on a matrix exponential spatial specification of the error terms.
Many empirical studies of aggregate labour force behaviour have ignored population distribution effects, relying instead on
the representative-agent paradigm. In order for representative-agent models to accurately describe aggregate behaviour, all
marginal reactions of individuals to changes in aggregate variables must be identical. It turns out that this condition cannot
apply to individuals across different sex/age groups.

The architecture of the ultra-tight GPS/INS/PL integration is the key to its successful performance; the main feature of this
architecture is the Doppler feedback to the GPS receiver tracking loops. This Doppler derived from INS, when integrated with
the carrier tracking loops, removes the Doppler due to vehicle dynamics from the GPS/PL signal thereby achieving a significant
reduction in the carrier tracking loop bandwidth. The bandwidth reduction provides several advantages such as: improvement
in anti-jamming performance, and increase in post correlated signal strength which in turn increases the dynamic range and
accuracy of measurements. Therefore, any degradation in the derived Doppler estimates will directly affect the tracking loop
bandwidth and hence its performance. The quadrature signals from the receiver correlator, I (in-phase) and Q (quadrature),
form the measurements, whereas the inertial sensor errors, position, velocity and attitude errors form the states of the complementary
Kalman filter. To specify a reliable measurement model of the filter for this type of integrated system, a good understanding
of GPS/PL signal characteristics is essential. It is shown in this paper that phase and frequency errors are the variables
that relate the measurements and the states in the Kalman filter. The main focus of this paper is to establish the fundamental
mathematical relationships that form the measurement model, and to show explicitly how the system error states are related
to the GPS/PL signals. The derived mathematical relationships encapsulated in a Kalman filter, are tested by simulation and
shown to be valid.

Hidden negative spatial autocorrelation 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Daniel A. Griffith 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2006,8(4):335-355
Mostly lip service treatments of negative spatial autocorrelation (NSA) appear in the literature, although spatial scientists confront it in practice. NSA was detected serendipitously in recalcitrant empirical analyses containing a sizeable amount of global positive spatial autocorrelation (PSA) unaccounted for by standard spatial statistical models, and labeled hidden because conventional spatial statistical tools detected only PSA while giving absolutely not hint of NSA existing. The meaning of this phenomenon is explored empirically, with findings including: a better understanding of NSA, spatial filter model construction guidelines, effective illustrations of NSA, and how hidden NSA furnishes a diagnostic for model misspecification.

In this paper a MATLAB toolbox for determining the attitude of a rigid platform by means of multiple non-dedicated antennas
using global positioning system is presented. The programs embedded in this toolbox cover the RINEX data analysis, single
point positioning, differential positioning, coordinate conversion, attitude determination, and other auxiliary functions.
After forming the baselines through double-differenced (carrier phase smoothed) code observables, the attitude parameters
are obtained by applying the direct attitude computation and the least squares attitude estimation. The theoretical background
is summarized, and some hints regarding the software implementation are given in the paper. Moreover, improvements yielding
an expanded functionality are proposed.

Ionospheric delay corrections for single-frequency GPS receivers over Europe using tomographic mapping 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
The majority of navigation satellites receivers operate on a single frequency and experience a positioning error due to the
ionospheric delay. This can be compensated for using a variety of approaches that are compared in this paper. The study focuses
on the last solar maximum. A 4D tomographic imaging technique is used to map the ionospheric electron density over the European
region during 2002 and 2003. The electron density maps are then used to calculate the excess propagation delay on the L1 frequency
experienced by GPS receivers at selected locations across Europe. The excess delay is applied to correct the pseudo-range
single frequency observations at each location and the improvements to the resulting positioning are calculated. The real-time
tomographic technique is shown to give navigation solutions that are better than empirical modelling methods and approach
the accuracy of the full dual-frequency solution. The improvements in positioning accuracy vary from day to day depending
on ionospheric conditions but can be up to 25 m during mid-day during these solar maximum conditions at European mid-latitudes.

Incorporating spatial variation in housing attribute prices: a comparison of geographically weighted regression and the spatial expansion method 总被引:10,自引:3,他引:7
Christopher Bitter Gordon F. Mulligan Sandy Dall’erba 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2007,9(1):7-27
Hedonic house price models typically impose a constant price structure on housing characteristics throughout an entire market
area. However, there is increasing evidence that the marginal prices of many important attributes vary over space, especially
within large markets. In this paper, we compare two approaches to examine spatial heterogeneity in housing attribute prices
within the Tucson, Arizona housing market: the spatial expansion method and geographically weighted regression (GWR). Our
results provide strong evidence that the marginal price of key housing characteristics varies over space. GWR outperforms
the spatial expansion method in terms of explanatory power and predictive accuracy.

Since the assumption of all stations tracking the same satellites with identical weights was previously employed by Shen and
Xu (GPS Solut 12:99–108, 2008) to derive the simplified GNSS single- and double-differenced equivalent equations, this supplementary paper expands these
simplified equations in the case of each station tracking different satellites with elevation-dependent weights. Numerical
experiments are performed to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the simplified equivalent algorithm relative to the
traditional method in various scenarios of multi-baseline solutions with tracking different satellites. The fast computational
speed of the simplified equivalent algorithm will potentially benefit the local, regional and even global GNSS multi-baseline
solutions as well as the combined GNSS application.

In this article, an algorithm for clock offset estimation of the GPS satellites is presented. The algorithm is based on a
Kalman-filter and processes undifferenced code and carrier-phase measurements of a global tracking network. The clock offset
and drift of the satellite clocks are estimated along with tracking station clock offsets, tropospheric zenith path delay
and carrier-phase ambiguities. The article provides a brief overview of already existing near-real-time and real-time clock
products. The filter algorithm and data processing scheme is presented. Finally, the accuracy of the orbit and clock product
is assessed with a precise orbit determination of the MetOp satellite and compared to results gained with other real-time
products.

Show me the code: spatial analysis and open source 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Sergio J. Rey 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2009,11(2):191-207
This paper considers the intersection of academic spatial analysis with the open source revolution. Its basic premise is that
the potential for cross-fertilization between the two is rich, yet some misperceptions about these two communities pose challenges
to realizing these opportunities. The paper provides a primer on the open source movement for academicians with an eye towards
correcting these misperceptions. It identifies a number of ways in which increased adoption of open source practices in spatial
analysis can enhance the development of the next generation of tools and the wider practice of scientific research and education.

A sampling approach to estimate the log determinant used in spatial likelihood problems 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Likelihood-based methods for modeling multivariate Gaussian spatial data have desirable statistical characteristics, but the
practicality of these methods for massive georeferenced data sets is often questioned. A sampling algorithm is proposed that
exploits a relationship involving log-pivots arising from matrix decompositions used to compute the log determinant term that
appears in the model likelihood. We demonstrate that the method can be used to successfully estimate log-determinants for
large numbers of observations. Specifically, we produce an log-determinant estimate for a 3,954,400 by 3,954,400 matrix in
less than two minutes on a desktop computer. The proposed method involves computations that are independent, making it amenable
to out-of-core computation as well as to coarse-grained parallel or distributed processing. The proposed technique yields
an estimated log-determinant and associated confidence interval.

An exploratory analysis of hierarchical spatial interaction: the case of regional income shares in Indonesia 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Suahasil Nazara Geoffrey J. D. Hewings Michael Sonis 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2006,8(3):253-268
Regional interaction is generally understood as implying movement between regions at the same level of an hierarchy. This paper extends the notion to include an hierarchical system, thus facilitating the consideration of vertical interaction in the analysis of regional interaction. Obviously, vertical interaction is not altogether a new concept. One could find this concept in many analyses related to national-local or federal-state relationships. This paper treats hierarchy in a strict sense; spatial units are interacting one with another within, but not between, presumed super regions. A particular example drawn in this paper is the province-region relationships for the case of Indonesia. In this framework, provinces form a region, and regions form the nation. The Dendrinos–Sonis model is then used as the basis for measuring the hierarchical spatial interaction in Indonesia. The analysis will explore the degree to which complementarity and competitive interaction revealed at one level in the hierarchy persist at lower or higher levels.

High-frequency multipath would be problematic for studies at seismic or antenna dynamical frequencies as one could mistakenly
interpret them as signals. A simple procedure to identify high-frequency multipath from global positioning system (GPS) time
series records is presented. For this purpose, data from four GPS base stations are analyzed using spectral analyses techniques.
Additional data, such as TEQC report files of L1 pseudorange multipath, are also used to analyze the high-frequency multipath
and confirmation of the high-frequency multipath inferred from the phase records. Results show that this simple procedure
is effective in identification of high-frequency multipath. The inferred information can aid interpretation of multipath at
the GPS site, and is important for a number of reasons. For example, the information can be used to study GPS site selections
and/or installations.

A constrained LAMBDA method for GPS attitude determination 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
An improved method to obtain fixed integer ambiguity in GPS attitude determination is presented. Known conditions are utilized
as constraints to acquire attitude information when the float solution and its variance–covariance matrix are not accurate
enough. The searching ellipsoidal region is first expanded to compensate for errors caused by the inaccurate float solution.
Then the constraints are used to shrink the region to a proper size, which maintains the true integer ambiguity. Experimental
results demonstrate that this scheme gives a fast search time and a higher success rate in determining the fixed integer ambiguity
than the unconstrained method. The accuracy of attitude angles is also improved.

A data archive of GPS navigation messages 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Since 18 June 2007 navigation data messages transmitted by the GPS constellation are recorded by five receivers within GeoForschungsZentrum’s
global groundstation network. We describe the recording, processing, validation, analysis and archiving of the navigation
data. During the 197 days between 18 June 2007 and 31 December 2007 a total of 125,723,666 subframes were collected. By taking
into consideration that the same data set frequently is observed by two or more receivers concurrently, 65,153,955 unique
subframes could be extracted from the observations. With an estimated 88,099,200 subframes transmitted by the constellation
during this time period a data yield of about 74% was achieved. Simulation studies suggest that with two additional GPS receivers,
which are scheduled for addition to the network in 2008, about 95% of the transmitted subframes will be retrieved. The message
data archive is open to the scientific community for non-commercial purposes and may be accessed through GFZ’s Information
System and Data Center ().
