Exploring Spatial Heterogeneity of E-scooter’s Relationship with Ridesourcing using Explainable Machine Learning

Abstract The expansion of e-scooter sharing system has led to several novel interactions within the existing transportation system. Although there is a potential for e-scooter sharing and ridesourcing to both compete and complement each other, few studies shed light on the relationship between e-scooter sharing and ridesourcing. To fill this… read more

Exploring temporal varying demographic and economic disparities in COVID-19 infections in four U.S. areas: based on OLS, GWR, and random forest models

Abstract: Although studies have previously investigated the spatial factors of COVID-19, most of them were conducted at a low resolution and chose to limit their study areas to high-density urbanized regions. Hence, this study aims to investigate the economic-demographic disparities in COVID-19 infections and their spatial-temporal patterns in areas with… read more

Disparities in affecting factors of housing price: A machine learning approach to the effects of housing status, public transit, and density factors on single-family housing price

Abstract: Profound insights have been gained into which characteristics determine housing prices. These characteristics reflect two different aspects: those which are correlated with the dwelling itself and those which are correlated with the location and the surrounding area. However, few studies precisely looked at the disparities and heterogeneity in these… read more
