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.

Identifying barriers of species and characterize their effects on spatial distribution provide essential information to research
in landscape genetics. We propose a weighted difference barrier (WDB) method as an alternative to maximum difference barriers
(MDB), and to initiate and integrate more spatial modeling and methods into the problem solving process. Overall, WDB provides
quick and straightforward improvements to the drawbacks of MDB. WDB integrates more sample location relationships into the
barrier construction and reveals potential barriers that would otherwise go undetected. WDB incorporates both within group
and between group genetic information, and delineates the barriers as a more complex pattern.

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.

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.

Separate space- or time-lags have been considered regularly in data analyses; as space–time models are more recently being
studied extensively in data analytic fashion, joint estimation of both lags has to be considered explicitly. This paper addresses
this issue, taking into special consideration parametric parsimony together with specification richness; use of the bivariate
Poisson frequency distribution is advocated and applied to an empirical case. The relation of this approach to random effects
specifications is investigated. Data for Belgian regional products constitute the empirical case study.

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.

This paper presents an innovative approach to the study of regional economic dynamics within a nonlinear continuous-time econometric
framework—a generalized specification of the Lotka–Volterra system of equations. This specification, which accounts for interdependent
behavior of three industrial sectors and spillover effects of activities in neighboring regions, is employed in an analysis
of five Italian regions between 1980 and 2003. For these regions, we report estimation results, characterize the varying systems
dynamics, analyze the models’ local and global stability properties, and determine via sensitivity analyses which structural
features appear to exert the greatest influence on these properties.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Latent lifestyle preferences and household location decisions 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Lifestyle, indicating preferences towards a particular way of living, is a key driver of the decision of where to live. We
employ latent class choice models to represent this behavior, where the latent classes are the lifestyles and the choice model
is the choice of residential location. Thus, we simultaneously estimate lifestyle groups and how lifestyle impacts location
decisions. Empirical results indicate three latent lifestyle segments: suburban dwellers, urban dwellers, and transit-riders.
The suggested lifestyle segments have intriguing policy implications. Lifecycle characteristics are used to predict lifestyle
preferences, although there remain significant aspects that cannot be explained by observable variables.

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.

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.

Modeling network autocorrelation within migration flows by eigenvector spatial filtering 总被引:8,自引:5,他引:3
Yongwan Chun 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2008,10(4):317-344
Although the assumption of independence among interaction flows frequently is engaged in spatial interaction modeling, in
many circumstances it leads to misspecified models and incorrect inferences. An informed approach is to explicitly incorporate
an assumed relationship structure among the interaction flows, and to explicitly model the network autocorrelation. This paper
illustrates such an approach in the context of U.S. interstate migration flows. Behavioral assumptions, similar to those of
the intervening opportunities or the competing destinations concepts, exemplify how to specify network flows that are related
to particular origin–destination combinations. The stepwise incorporation of eigenvectors, which are extracted from a network
link matrix, captures the network autocorrelation in a Poisson regression model specification context. Spatial autocorrelation
in Poisson regression is measured by the test statistic of Jacqmin-Gadda et al. (Stat Med
16(11):1283–1297, 1997). Results show that estimated regression parameters in the spatial filtering interaction model become
more intuitively interpretable.

Area coverage maximization in service facility siting 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Traditionally, models for siting facilities in order to optimize coverage of area demand have made use of discrete space representations
to efficiently handle both candidate facility locations and demand. These discretizations of space are often necessary given
the linear functional forms of many siting models and the complexities associated with evaluating continuous space. Recently,
several spatial optimization approaches have been proposed to address the more general problem of identifying facility sites
that maximize regional coverage for the case where candidate sites and demand are continuously distributed across space. One
assumption of existing approaches is that only demand falling within a prescribed radius of the facility can be effectively
served. In many practical applications, however, service areas are not necessarily circular, as terrain, transportation, and
service characteristics of the facility often result in irregular shapes. This paper develops a generalized service coverage
approach, allowing a sited facility to have any continuous service area shape, not simply a circle. Given that demand and
facility sites are assumed to be continuous throughout a region, geometrical properties of the demand region and the service
facility coverage area are exploited to identify a facility site to optimize the correspondence between the two areas. In
particular, we consider the case where demand is uniformly distributed and the service area is translated to maximize coverage.
A heuristic approach is proposed for efficient model solution. Application results are presented for siting a facility given
differently shaped service areas.

A copula-based closed-form binary logit choice model for accommodating spatial correlation across observational units 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
This study focuses on accommodating spatial dependency in data indexed by geographic location. In particular, the emphasis
is on accommodating spatial error correlation across observational units in binary discrete choice models. We propose a copula-based
approach to spatial dependence modeling based on a spatial logit structure rather than a spatial probit structure. In this
approach, the dependence between the logistic error terms of different observational units is directly accommodated using
a multivariate logistic distribution based on the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstein (FGM) copula. The approach represents a simple
and powerful technique that results in a closed-form analytic expression for the joint probability of choice across observational
units, and is straightforward to apply using a standard and direct maximum likelihood inference procedure. There is no simulation
machinery involved, leading to substantial computation gains relative to current methods to address spatial correlation. The
approach is applied to teenagers’ physical activity participation levels, a subject of considerable interest in the public
health, transportation, sociology, and adolescence development fields. The results indicate that failing to accommodate heteroscedasticity
and spatial correlation can lead to inconsistent and inefficient parameter estimates, as well as incorrect conclusions regarding
the elasticity effects of exogenous variables.

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.
