โœฆ Synopsis

It is shown that fitness landscapes for constrained optimization problems are statistically anisotropic. Consequently, conducting a single, long random walk to estimate correlation in the landscape can produce incorrect results. We argue that more accurate estimates can be obtained by forming a composite picture from a set of confined random walks.

The use of correlation coefficients to evaluate the accuracy of spatial interaction models is inappropriate unless such models have been fitted using least squares techniques. In other cases the correlation involves an implicit intercept value and a regression coefficient that may significantly modi

The estimation of erosion and sediment delivery rates in tropical mountain watersheds is dicult and most of the methods widely used for estimating soil erosion over large areas have serious limitations. The 137 Cs approach has potential for quantifying soil erosion because it can provide retrospecti
