Quantifying ethnic segregation in cities through random walks
S. Sousa and V. Nicosia
This groundbreaking research conducted by Sandro Sousa and Vincenzo Nicosia introduces an innovative, non-parametric approach to measure spatial segregation in cities through random walks on graphs. By analyzing the time taken by a random walker to encounter diverse ethnic groups, the findings unveil significant insights into the multi-dimensional aspects of ethnic segregation and its connection to socioeconomic deprivation across US and UK metropolitan areas.
