Practical Application of Conflict Scaling Law in Aggression Cases

Due to chaotic factors, predictive value is lower - however power-law scaling grants insights for retroactive investigation of conflict frequency & magnitude

Hello dear reader, this is my first post really diving into the practical application of chaos theory to dog behavior. I will be including case studies and going beyond philosophical musings to provide actionable insight from mathematics into interventions in dog behavior. These articles provide far more value to the behavior consultant or pet owner, and for that reason they’re only available for subscribers to the publication.

This article will be exploring the practical application of power-law scaling patterns in aggression cases and how I use these insights during my investigation into dog behavior problems, with an extensive real-life example. These patterns yield a lot of insight into past events and inform a direction to aim questioning, however, much like the weather, stock market, and other chaotic systems - predictability is not guaranteed. Although, these patterns do help on some level to produce behavioral forecasting.
