Evaluation Platform of Sustainability for Global Systems
Statistical Approach to Geospatial Information for Big Data Integration
Chapter
This chapter depicts the background and concepts of a platform designed to evaluate global systems. Sustainability is a crucial concern within our socioeconomic-environmental systems and is formalized as multi...
Chapter
Grid square statistics—a kind of spatial statistics—is useful as a tool for analyzing, comparing and synthesizing statistics regarding anonymization. This chapter proposes how a data cube (linked open data) of...
Chapter
This chapter proposes an on-demand service to produce Grid Square statistics. This on-demand service is based on the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) developed by UNECE. GSBPM consists of eig...
Chapter
This chapter discusses the evaluation in the PDCA cycle consisting of plan (P), do (D), check (C), and action (A) for policy making. We will discuss a method that incorporates Bardach’s eight steps of policy a...
Chapter
This chapter introduces distributed architecture for storing, searching, and computing Grid Square statistics. Since the data of Grid Square statistics is enormous, we need to consider efficient computation me...

Statistical Approach to Geospatial Information for Big Data Integration
Chapter
This chapter introduces some examples of Grid Square and Grid Square statistics concepts. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce examples of Grid Square statistics and to help readers deepen their underst...
Chapter
This chapter introduces the statistical properties of Grid Square statistics. Grid square statistics can be described as tabular expressions, especially as matrix data or a contingency table in case of summari...
Chapter
This chapter shows some examples of Grid Square statistics and their applications. Specifically, we review several studies on Grid Square statistics. Mainly using Japanese data and statistics, we consider some...
Chapter
The ethical justifiability of “placebo-controlled trials in the presence of proven intervention” is an issue that hinges on the principle of justice in bioethics. Since the onset of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in th...
Chapter
This paper proposes a biobjective route planning problem for sightseeing with fuzzy random traveling times and satisfaction of sightseeing activities under general sightseeing constraints and various condition...
Article
This article considers bilevel linear programming problems where random fuzzy variables are contained in objective functions and constraints. In order to construct a new optimization criterion under fuzziness ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Input-Output table is important for analyzing the relationship among industrial sectors when we decide a policy making. In this paper we propose to consider the indirect effect between sectors in sales and sec...
Chapter
In this chapter, the estimation of error in the method used to retrieve carbon dioxide (CO2) column abundances obtained from the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) is presented. GOSAT will be the first ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Grammar of technology development is a trans-disciplinary description of common approaches to well-controlled technology developments in which the most effective method for development is systematically select...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Environmentally conscious design (ecodesign) is at present among the key issues for manufacturers. Although many tools for ecodesign exist, how to employ different tools in combination is unavailable. To revea...
Chapter
The main issue addressed by this chapter is an interpretation of statistics: is it just a functionalist set of tools for diverse measurements, or is it a toolbox for supporting creativity? We represent the lat...
Article
We propose a new bivariate distribution following a GLM form i.e., natural exponential family given the constantly correlated covariance matrix. The proposed distribution can represent an independent bivariate...
Article
In this paper we present an improved hedonic price regression for cases in which many implemented technological characteristics are to be included into a set of explanatory variables. This approach modifies Ma...
