D. Brockmann et al. find a clever application of the Where's George? data set: they use it to test a model of dispersal ecology. The model holds that individuals in a population move about in a random way modelled as a Lévy flight: long-distance jumps are disproportionately important, their probability distribution following a power law.
Applications of this research to epidemiology are possible.
