Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

Zebrafish constitute a convenient laboratory–based biological system for studying collective
behavior. It is possible to interpret a group of zebrafish as a system of interacting agents and …

Coordinated and ordered collective behaviors that emerge from decentralized and local self-
organizing interactions among individuals widely exists in many biological groups. The …

The multilevel hidden Markov model (MHMM) is a promising method to investigate intense
longitudinal data obtained within the social and behavioral sciences. The MHMM quantifies …

Which locations pedestrians decide to visit and in what order drives circulation patterns in
pedestrian infrastructure. Destination choice is understood to arise from individuals trading …

The collective dynamics and structure of animal groups has attracted the attention of
scientists across a broad range of fields. A variety of agent-based models have been …

A relatively simple and local interaction between individuals produces coordinated and
ordered collective behaviors that are widespread at all levels of biological groups. Group …

Accurately calibrated pedestrian destination choice models help explain and predict foot
traffic in public places by describing how individuals choose locations to visit. Model …

The evacuation of crowds in a building has always emerged as a vital issue in many
accidents. The geometrical structure of a room, especially the exit design has a great …

Spurred in part by the ever-growing number of sensors and web-based methods of
collecting data, the use of Intensive Longitudinal Data (ILD) is becoming more common in …
