A complete data frame work for fitting power law distributions [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Over the last few decades power law distributions have been suggested as forming generative mechanisms in a variety of disparate fields, such as, astrophysics, criminology and database curation. However, fitting these heavy tailed distributions requires care, especially since the power law behaviour may only be present in the distributional tail ...

LMest: an R package for latent Markov models for categorical longitudinal data [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Latent Markov (LM) models represent an important class of models for the analysis of longitudinal data (Bartolucci et. al., 2013), especially when response variables are categorical. These models have a great potential of application for the analysis of social, medical, and behavioral data as well as in other disciplines. We propose the R package LMest,

arXiv, 2019 One of the most common applications of spatial data analysis is detecting zones, at a certain investigation level, where a point-referenced event under study is especially concentrated. The detection of this kind of zones, which are usually referred to as hotspots, is essential in certain fields such as criminology, epidemiology or traffic safety ...
