The object of this paper is to evaluate the utility of machine learning approaches for predicting urban redevelopment by comparing them a longer-standing econometric approach for doing the same. The motivation is that, while much is understood about the latter, far less is understood about the for...
Table 5 shows that for each of the two sets of variables there is a unique set of standardized canonical weights βij per canonical function, i.e., for each pair of variates (see equations below Table 1). As we only considered the first two (statistically significant) canonical functions ...
The proportion of what is considered safe sanitation is likely to remain a subject of debate in countries where these phone-based mapping results may contradict existing records. For the local authorities, whatever happens beyond the user interface is like the adage “out of sight, out of mind...
No fixed conceptualization exists regarding which (group of) criteria should be considered when analyzing the supply of recreational ecosystem services. In particular, an understanding of how the criteria are linked to demand for different urban population groups is lacking. Since the use of urban ...
Vilnius is the Lithuania's capital and its largest city (population 550 000). Officially established in the 14th century (but likely dating to an earlier era), this city is well-known for its massive UNESCO-inscribedMedieval old town. After all, Vilnius has been a capital since at least...
The coverage of Microsoft's building footprints is somewhat variable; areas with missing buildings can occur due to satellite imagery being too old (prior to 2014) or if it was considered that the area had a low-probability of detection (broadly based on distance to roads and population ...
The Garch model has been proven more accurate than "Black-Scholes" type models, especially for out of the money options which are close to maturity. The Garch model is considered an effective volatility forecaster. UNIVGARCH thus enables the forecast of the forward volatility for any time period...
It is observed that people generally follow fixed routines or scripts for their everyday rather than consciously planning them on a day-to-day basis. This generates high spatial stability and temporal periodicities in activity-travel behavior [52]. Therefore, several factors are considered for ...
