Fig 12. Cluster dynamics in Mexico: (left) Pearson’s correlation of weekly events nj across pairs of clusters.
(right) Pearson’s correlation of differentiated weekly events Δnj = nj − nj−1. The left panel shows a high level of correlation between clusters; however, contrary to what observed in India and Israel, dramatic decreases are observed when computing coefficients between first order differences implying a low level of synchrony in the rate of change of events.
