While we haven't told you the previous post on Kawasaki dynamics is actually meant as a context towards upcoming series of posts. While it covered theoretical aspect of the upcoming series, as the model we will talk about is build on the same premise as Kawasaki interpretation of the Ising model, this post will cover empirical aspect of the upcoming series.
Namely, here we introduce you to the rank-size distributions and illustrate the concept using UK census 2011 data. Note that the data is freely available from NOMIS website). Here in this post we will use Tables KS201EW, KS209EW, KS301EW, KS402EW and QS607EW. Our geographical resolution being postal areas.
