Every property is testable on a natural class of scale-free multigraphs
In this paper, we introduce a natural class of multigraphs called
hierarchical-scale-free (HSF) multigraphs, and consider constant-time
testability on the class. We show that a very wide subclass, specifically, that
in which the power-law exponent is greater than two, of HSF is hyperfinite.
Based on this result, an algorithm for a deterministic partitioning oracle can
be constructed. We conclude by showing that every property is constant-time
testable on the above subclass of HSF. This algorithm utilizes findings by
Newman and Sohler of STOC'11. However, their algorithm is based on the
bounded-degree model, while it is known that actual scale-free networks usually
include hubs, which have a very large degree. HSF is based on scale-free
properties and includes such hubs. This is the first universal result of
constant-time testability on the general graph model, and it has the potential
to be applicable on a very wide range of scale-free networks.Comment: 13 pages, one figure. Difference from ver. 1: Definitions of HSF and

A Comprehensive Analysis of Time Series Segmentation on the Japanese Stock Prices
This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of time series segmentation on
the Japanese stock prices listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock
Exchange during the period from 4 January 2000 to 30 January 2012. A recursive
segmentation procedure is used under the assumption of a Gaussian mixture. The
daily number of each quintile of volatilities for all the segments is
investigated empirically. It is found that from June 2004 to June 2007, a large
majority of stocks are stable and that from 2008 several stocks showed
instability. On March 2011, the daily number of instable securities steeply
increased due to societal turmoil influenced by the East Japan Great
Earthquake. It is concluded that the number of stocks included in each quintile
of volatilities provides useful information on macroeconomic situations.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, submitted to the 4th World Congress on Social

Patterns of Regional Travel Behavior: An Analysis of Japanese Hotel Reservation Data
This study considers the availability of room opportunities collected from a
Japanese hotel booking site. We empirically analyze the daily number of room
opportunities for four areas. To determine the migration trends of travelers,
we discuss a finite mixture of Poisson distributions and the EM-algorithm as
its parameter estimation method. We further propose a method to infer the
probability of opportunities existing for each observation. We characterize
demand-supply situations by means of relationship between the averaged room
prices and the probability of opportunity existing.Comment: 22 pages, 16 figures; International Review of Financial Analysis
