Table 1 Examining which factors impact the predictability of human mobility patterns. \(\pmb{r_{g}}\) is the radius of gyration, \(\pmb{\mathrm{eff}_{\mathrm{places}}}\) is the effective number of places an individual chooses from when changing to a new location and is defined as \(\pmb{2^{H_{\mathrm{unc}}}}\) . We also examine the impact of basic personality traits using the Big Five psychological profile [ 30 ]. Error bars are determined using the bootstrap method
