crime-hotspots

This repo implements two papers related to crime hotspots simulation and spatial analysis.

Crime hotspots simulation

paper: A statistical model of criminal behavior (Short et al., 2008)

Reproduce experiment

Fig.3 (a) - no signicant hotspots

expset.a._eta_0.2_theta_0.56_Gamma_0.019.mp4

Fig.3 (b) - dynamic hotspots

expset.b._eta_0.2_theta_5.6_Gamma_0.002.mp4

Fig.3 (c) - stable hotspots

expset.c._eta_0.03_theta_0.56_Gamma_0.019.mp4

Fig.3 (d) - dynamic hotspots with larger deformations

expset.d._eta_0.03_theta_5.6_Gamma_0.002.mp4

Quick start

# run experiment (a) in Fig.3 for 200 days; plot every 0.5 day
python main.py --expset a --T 200 --plot_rate 0.5
