    • Evaluating Spatial Interaction Models for Regional Mobility in Sub-Saharan Africa 

      Wesolowski, Amy; O’Meara, Wendy Prudhomme; Eagle, Nathan; Tatem, Andrew J.; Buckee, Caroline O. (Public Library of Science, 2015)
      Simple spatial interaction models of human mobility based on physical laws have been used extensively in the social, biological, and physical sciences, and in the study of the human dynamics underlying the spread of disease. ...
    • Heterogeneous Mobile Phone Ownership and Usage Patterns in Kenya 

      Wesolowski, Amy; Eagle, Nathan; Noor, Abdisalan M.; Snow, Robert W.; Buckee, Caroline O. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      The rapid adoption of mobile phone technologies in Africa is offering exciting opportunities for engaging with high-risk populations through mHealth programs, and the vast volumes of behavioral data being generated as ...
    • Limits of Predictability in Commuting Flows in the Absence of Data for Calibration 

      Yang, Yingxiang; Herrera, Carlos; Eagle, Nathan; González, Marta C. (Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
      The estimation of commuting flows at different spatial scales is a fundamental problem for different areas of study. Many current methods rely on parameters requiring calibration from empirical trip volumes. Their values ...
    • Measures of Human Mobility Using Mobile Phone Records Enhanced with GIS Data 

      Williams, Nathalie E.; Thomas, Timothy A.; Dunbar, Matthew; Eagle, Nathan; Dobra, Adrian (Public Library of Science, 2015)
      In the past decade, large scale mobile phone data have become available for the study of human movement patterns. These data hold an immense promise for understanding human behavior on a vast scale, and with a precision ...
    • Spatiotemporal Detection of Unusual Human Population Behavior Using Mobile Phone Data 

      Dobra, Adrian; Williams, Nathalie E.; Eagle, Nathan (Public Library of Science, 2015)
      With the aim to contribute to humanitarian response to disasters and violent events, scientists have proposed the development of analytical tools that could identify emergency events in real-time, using mobile phone data. ...
    • The Use of Census Migration Data to Approximate Human Movement Patterns across Temporal Scales 

      Wesolowski, Amy; Buckee, Caroline O.; Pindolia, Deepa K.; Eagle, Nathan; Smith, David L.; Garcia, Andres J.; Tatem, Andrew J. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Human movement plays a key role in economies and development, the delivery of services, and the spread of infectious diseases. However, it remains poorly quantified partly because reliable data are often lacking, particularly ...
