GeoComplexity Calculation
Calculation methods of geographical complexity
The formula for shannon entropy is as follows:
$$ H(X) = - \sum_{i=1}^{n} p(x_i) \log_b p(x_i) $$
Where H(X) is entropy of the random variable X, p(xi) is probability of the random variable X taking the value xi, nis number of possible values that X can take, b is the base of the logarithm, which can be 2 (for bits), e (natural logarithm, for nats), or 10 (for dits).
The spatial variance is calculated as:
$$ \Gamma = \frac{\sum_i \sum_{j \neq i} \omega_{ij}\frac{(y_i-y_j)^2}{2}}{\sum_i \sum_{j \neq i} \omega_{ij}} $$
where ωij is the weight between i-th location and j-th location; yi and yj are the dependent variable values at the i-th and j-th locations respectively.
The geographical configuration similarity is calculated as:
$$ S({\bf u}_{\alpha},{\bf v}_{\beta})=min\{E_{i}(e_{i}({\bf u}_{\alpha}),e_{i}({\bf v}_{\beta}))\} $$
$$ E_{i}({\bf u}_{\alpha},{\bf v}_{\beta})=\exp\left(-{\frac{\left(e_{i}({\bf u}_{\alpha})-e_{i}({\bf v}_{\beta})\right)^{2}}{2\left(\sigma^{2}/\delta({\bf v}_{\beta})\right)^{2}}}\right) $$
$$ \delta({\bf u}_{\alpha},{\bf v})=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{\beta=1}^{n}(e({\bf u}_{\alpha})-e({\bf v}_{\beta}))^{2}}{n}} $$
Considering the geographical complexity with spatial local dependencies
The formula for geocomplexity which uses local moran measure method is
$$ \rho_i = -\frac{1}{m} Z_i \sum\limits_{j=1}^m W_{ij} Z_j -\frac{1}{m} \sum\limits_{j=1}^m W_{ij} Z_j \frac{1}{V_{k}}\sum\limits_{k=1}^n W_{jk} W_{ik} Z_k $$
The formula for geocomplexity which uses spatial fluctuation measure method is
ρi = Spatial_Variance(zi, zj)
The formula for geocomplexity which uses shannon entropy measure method is
ρi = Shannon_Entropy(Zi, Zj)
Considering the geographical complexity with geographical configurations similarities
Firstly, calculate global similarity:
S = CosineSimilarity(Zi, Zj)
or
S = GeographicalConfigurationsSimilarity(Zi, Zj)
The geographic complexity is then calculated:
The formula for geocomplexity which uses spatial fluctuation measure method is
ρi = Spatial_Variance(Si, Sj)
The formula for geocomplexity which uses shannon entropy measure method is
ρi = Shannon_Entropy(Si, Sj)
