In taking issues with them and other southern advocates of new revenue allocation criteria, the dominant north's organic intellectuals have always relied on the obvious concentration of economic and commercial activities in southern Nigeria to refute the argument that the north is the greater beneficiary of Nigeria's wealth. Scholarly contribution to the ethno-regional debate on the equity of resource allocation has been anchored to the 606 $aRevenue sharing$zNigeria 607 $aNigeria$xEconomic conditions 607 $aNigeria$xEthnic relations 615 0$aRevenue sharing 700 $aEgwaikhide$b Festus O$01571785 701 $aIsumonah$b Victor A$01571786 701 $aAyodele$b Olumide S$01571787 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791579203321 996 $aFederal presence in Nigeria$93846328 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05390nam 22006734a 450 001 9910829972603321 005 20230617041829.0 010 $a1-280-27839-0 010 $a9786610278398 010 $a0-470-35478-X 010 $a0-471-75472-2 010 $a0-471-75470-6 035 $a(CKB)1000000000377257 035 $a(EBL)239410 035 $a(OCoLC)61762097 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000157721 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11147173 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000157721 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10144536 035 $a(PQKB)10806848 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC239410 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000377257 100 $a20050427d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFractal-based point processes$b[electronic resource] /$fSteven Bradley Lowen, Malvin Carl Teich 210 $aHoboken, N.J. $cWiley-Interscience$d2005 215 $a1 online resource (628 p.) 225 1 $aWiley Series in Probability and Statistics ;$vv.366 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-471-38376-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 513-565) and index. 327 $aFractal-Based Point Processes; Preface; Contents; List of Figures; List of Figures; List of Tables; List of Tables; Authors; 1 Introduction; 1.1 Fractals; 1.1 Coastline of Iceland at different scales; 1.2 Point Processes; 1.3 Fractal-Based Point Processes; 1.2 Vehicular-traffic point process; Problems; 1.1 Length of Icelandic coastline at different scales; 1.2 Polygon approximation for perimeter of circle; 2 Scaling, Fractals, and Chaos; 2.1 Dimension; 2.1 Representative objects: measurements and dimensions; 2.2 Scaling Functions; 2.3 Fractals; 2.4 Examples of Fractals 327 $a2.1 Cantor-set construction2.2 Realization of Brownian motion; 2.3 Fern: a nonrandom natural fractal; 2.4 Grand Canyon: a random natural fractal; 2.5 Examples of Nonfractals; 2.5 Realization of a homogeneous Poisson process; 2.6 Deterministic Chaos; 2.6 Nonchaotic system with nonfractal attractor: time course; 2.7 Chaotic system with nonfractal attractor: time course; 2.8 Chaotic system with fractal attractor; 2.9 Chaotic system with fractal attractor: time course; 2.10 Nonchaotic system with fractal attractor; 2.7 Origins of Fractal Behavior 327 $a2.11 Nonchaotic system with fractal attractor: time course2.8 Ubiquity of Fractal Behavior; Problems; 3 Point Processes: Definition and Measures; 3.1 Point Processes; 3.2 Representations; 3.1 Point-process representations; 3.3 Interval-Based Measures; 3.2 Rescaled-range analysis: pseudocode; 3.3 Rescaled-range analysis: illustration; 3.4 Detrended fluctuation analysis: pseudocode; 3.4 Count-Based Measures; 3.5 Detrended fluctuation analysis: illustration; 3.6 Construction of normalized variances; 3.5 Other Measures; Problems; 4 Point Processes: Examples; 4.1 Homogeneous Poisson Point Process 327 $a4.2 Renewal Point Processes4.3 Doubly Stochastic Poisson Point Processes; 4.1 Stochastic-rate point processes; 4.4 Integrate-and-Reset Point Processes; 4.5 Cascaded Point Processes; 4.2 Cascaded point process; 4.6 Branching Point Processes; 4.7 Le?vy-Dust Counterexample; Problems; 5 Fractal and Fractal-Rate Point Processes; 5.1 Measures of Fractal Behavior in Point Processes; 5.2 Ranges of Power-Law Exponents; 5.3 Relationships among Measures; 5.4 Examples of Fractal Behavior in Point Processes; 5.1 Representative rate spectra; 5.2 Representative normalized Haar-wavelet variances 327 $a5.5 Fractal-Based Point Processes5.3 Normalized Daubechies-wavelet variances; 5.4 Fractal and nonfractal point processes; 5.5 Fractal-rate and nonfractal point processes; Problems; 5.6 Estimated normalized-variance curves; 5.7 Representative interval spectra; 5.8 Representative interval wavelet variances; 5.9 Representative interevent-interval histograms; 5.10 Representative capacity dimensions; 5.11 Generalized dimensions for an exocytic point process; 6 Processes Based on Fractional Brownian Motion; 6.1 Fractional Brownian Motion; 6.1 Realizations of fractional Brownian motion 327 $a6.2 Fractional Gaussian Noise 330 $aAn integrated approach to fractals and point processesThis publication provides a complete and integrated presentation of the fields of fractals and point processes, from definitions and measures to analysis and estimation. The authors skillfully demonstrate how fractal-based point processes, established as the intersection of these two fields, are tremendously useful for representing and describing a wide variety of diverse phenomena in the physical and biological sciences.
