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 location of new homes defines the urban–rural fringe and determines many facets of the urban–rural interaction set in
motion by construction of new homes in previously rural areas. Home, neighborhood and school district characteristics play
a crucial role in determining the spatial location of new residential construction, which in turn defines the boundary and
spatial extent of the urban–rural fringe. We develop and apply a spatial hedonic variant of the Blinder (J Hum Resour 8:436–455,
1973) and Oaxaca (Int Econ Rev 9:693–709, 1973) price decomposition to newer versus older home sales in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area during the year 2000. The preferences
of buyers of newer homes are compared to those who purchased the nearest neighboring older home located in the same census
block group, during the same year. Use of the nearest older home purchased in the same location represents a methodology to
control for various neighborhood, social–economic-demographic and school district characteristics that influence home prices.
Since newer homes reflect current preferences for home characteristics while older homes reflect past preferences for these
characteristics, we use the price differentials between newer and older home sales in the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition to
assess the relative significance of various house characteristics to home buyers.

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.

The minimax hub location problem sites a facility to minimize the maximum weighted interaction cost between pairs of fixed nodes. In this paper, distances are represented by a rectilinear norm and may be suited to factory layout or street
network problems. The problem is already well known (in 2-D) as the round trip location problem and is extended to 3-D in
this paper. One rationale for the solution method is based on an extension of the geometric arguments used to solve the minimax
single facility location problem. Suppose a budget is provided for interactions, and that each interaction must be accomplished
for no more than this cost. The algorithm uses a bi-section search for the feasible budget until it finds the expenditure
needed to provide for these flows. The extension in the present paper is that the nodes are permitted to be on different layers
(levels). This 3-D version of the problem appears to be a new variant of the hub model. The models and solution techniques
developed in the paper are illustrated using a small 55 node problem. Because of a relatively efficient implementation of
the bi-section search, the algorithm in 2-D and 3-D is also applied successfully to a 550 node problem.

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.

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.

Forecasting the impact of transport improvements on commuting and residential choice 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
This paper develops a probabilistic, competing-destinations, assignment model that predicts changes in the spatial pattern
of the working population as a result of transport improvements. The choice of residence is explained by a new non-parametric
model, which represents an alternative to the popular multinominal logit model. Travel times between zones are approximated
by a normal distribution function with different mean and variance for each pair of zones, whereas previous models only use
average travel times. The model’s forecast error of the spatial distribution of the Dutch working population is 7% when tested
on 1998 base-year data. To incorporate endogenous changes in its causal variables, an almost ideal demand system is estimated
to explain the choice of transport mode, and a new economic geography inter-industry model (RAEM) is estimated to explain
the spatial distribution of employment. In the application, the model is used to forecast the impact of six mutually exclusive
Dutch core-periphery railway proposals in the projection year 2020.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reliability analysis is inseparably connected with the formulation of failure scenarios, and common test statistics are based on specific assumptions. This is easily overlooked when processing observation differences. Poor failure identification performance and misleading pre-analysis results, mainly meaningless minimum detectable biases and external reliability measures, are the consequence. A reasonable failure scenario for use with differenced GNSS observations is formulated which takes into account that individual outliers in the original data affect more than one processed observation. The proper test statistics and reliability indicators are given for use with correlated observations and both batch processing and Kalman filtering. It is also shown that standardized residuals and redundancy numbers fail completely when used with double differenced observations.

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.

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.
