Scale invariance and invariant scaling in a mixed hierarchical system
1International Institute for Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics, Warshavskoye sh 79, korp 2, Moscow 113556, Russia.
Abstract:
We consider a mixed hierarchical model with heterogeneous and monotone conditions of destruction. We investigate how scaling properties of defects in the model are related with heterogeneity of rules of destruction, determined by concentration of the mixture. The system demonstrates different kinds of criticality as a general form of system behavior. The following forms of critical behavior are obtained: stability, catastrophe, scale invariance, and invariant scaling. Different slopes of the magnitude-frequency relation are realized in areas of critical stability and catastrophe. A simple relation between the slope of magnitude-frequency relation and parameters of the mixture is established.

Ordinal Level of Measurement
Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks in the...

Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...
