Allometric scaling of population variance with mean body size is predicted from Taylor’s law and density-mass allometry

Two widely tested empirical patterns in ecology are combined here to predict how the variation of population density relates to the average body size of organisms. Taylor’s law (TL) asserts that the ...

Evidence and implications of higher-order scaling in the environmental variation of animal population growth

We show that the variation of plant and animal populations through time can provide basic insights into how populations interact with their environment, even when environmental covariates are ...

Variance in population firing rate as a measure of slow time-scale correlation

Correlated variability in the spiking responses of pairs of neurons, also known as spike count correlation, is a key indicator of functional connectivity and a critical factor in population coding.

The guide to find variance using Python

This article was originally published on Built In by Eric Kleppen. Variance is a powerful statistic used in data analysis and machine learning. It is one of the four main measures of variability along ...
