Human PA pattern in the Memory-Burstiness (M, B) phase diagram.

Recent studies in statistical physics community showed that the pattern of various human activities such as email and phone communications, web browsing, library visitation, etc., is characterized by long-tailed distributions of inter-event intervals and burstiness, for which various generating mechanisms were proposed. Our analysis reveals that human daily-life PA patterns locate in the same area in the (M, B) space however, with advanced aging and disease (severe pain), the PA patterns shift from the common area.
