Urban Heat Democratization · Research wiki
Technical Reference & Reproducibility
A direct route from public-facing claims to the code, inputs, contracts, and tests that make them auditable.
Reproducibility is a public feature
The scientific core separates graph, spectral, resistance, reliability, percolation, raster, and report workflows. The executable source is the implementation record; this wiki is the reading guide.
- Scientific core modules define graph construction, spectral calculations, raster utilities, and reporting.
- Tests capture numerical expectations and contract behavior.
- Boston Study Guide states the bundled-study meaning and limits.
- Urban Thermal Math Deep Dive provides the extended mathematical companion.
Minimum reproducibility record
For each release, preserve input identifiers and licenses, boundary version, CRS, raster resolution and dates, masks and exclusions, graph rule, edge weights, parameter values, software revision, random seed, test results, and a plain-language interpretation statement. A result that cannot be reconstructed cannot be meaningfully challenged—and cannot earn public trust.
