A Population Analysis for Hierarchical Data Structures
Summary: Introduces population analysis to approximate occupancy distributions in structures by modeling the structure as transforming populations under insertion rules. Solves equations; validates on quadtrees; notes aging and phasing, and contrasts with statistical methods. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
