Researchers in psychology, education and other social sciences often emphasize "latent traits", which cannot be read directly off a numerical scale. For this case, there is a lack of tangible and ...

Hypergraphs offer an explicit formalism to describe multibody interactions in complex systems. To connect dynamics and function in systems with these higher-order interactions, network scientists have ...

Stochastic dynamical systems arise in many scientific fields, such as asset prices in financial markets, neural activity in the brain, or the spread of infectious diseases. Petar Jovanovski's Ph.D.

Tiny particles like pollen grains move constantly, pushed and pulled by environmental forces. To study this motion, physicists use a "random walk" model—a system in which every step is determined by a ...
