Spatial regionalization based on optimal information compression
Aggregating fine-grained data allows for the reduction of the impact of noise and outliers when analysing real-world systems. Here the author proposes a principled and efficient method based on information theory to compress spatial systems into macroscopic regions, capturing spatial clusters able t...
