Metrics for Mass-Count Disparity
14th IEEE International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation
Mass-count disparity is the technical underpinning of the "mice and elephants" phenomenon -that most samples are small, but a few are huge -which may be the most important attribute of heavy-tailed distributions ...
In particular, it shows that the Pareto distribution actually has a relatively low mass-count disparity; the effects often observed are the result of combining some other distribution with a Pareto tail ...

This trend motivates the search for more efficient caching mechanisms, enabling both faster service of frequently used blocks and decreased power consumption. ...
We show that this predictor can identify a small set of data cache resident blocks that service most of the memory references, thus serving as a building block for new cache designs and block replacement ...

A morphospace of planktonic marine diatoms. II. Sampling standardization and spatial disparity partitioning
2015
Paleobiology
When sampling bias is corrected by randomized subsampling, all disparity metrics show stationary patterns, or at most directional changes of small magnitude. ...
We also investigate a measure of disparity that is insensitive to sampling intensity, introducing a geographic component of morphological disparity. ...
Disparity and diversity metrics for the Cenozoic diatom morphospace using SIB taxon 259 counting are shown in Figure 3. 260 Comparing the disparity metrics calculated under RT (Fig. 2) and SIB (Fig. 3) ...

Paleozoic ammonoid ecomorphometrics test ecospace availability as a driver of morphological diversification
2020
Science Advances
The early burst model suggests that disparity rises rapidly to fill empty ecospace following clade origination or in the aftermath of a mass extinction. ...
However, we find no evidence for early bursts of ecomorphological disparity. This contradicts arguments that the temporal scope, or traits measured in genomic data, conceal evidence of early bursts. ...
The residual convex hull area for each 1-million-year bin was calculated for each metric by subtracting the observed metric (convex hull area of PC2 and PC3) from the median null model value. ...

Eutherian morphological disparity across the end-Cretaceous mass extinction
2015
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society
We find that the range-based metric suggests that eutherian disparity increased immediately after the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, while both variance-based metrics declined from the Campanian to the ...
In the aftermaths of mass extinction events, during radiations of clades, and in several other evolutionary scenarios, there is often a decoupling of taxonomic diversity and morphological disparity. ...

Paleobiology
These trends were only revealed by using a combination of disparity metrics, demonstrating how this approach can offer novel insights into macroevolutionary processes underlying patterns of disparity and ...
We apply three disparity metrics that together capture different aspects of morphospace occupation and show how this approach is key to understanding patterns of morphological evolution. ...

Exploiting Core Working Sets to Filter the L1 Cache with Random Sampling
2012
IEEE transactions on computers
The concept of a core motivates the design of dual cache structures that provide special treatment for the core. ...
We therefore propose to extend Denning's definition with that of core working sets, which identify blocks that are used most frequently and for the longest time. ...
Our contribution is in the quantification of this effect using metrics for mass-count disparity. ...
