text: In real-world applications, observations are often constrained to a small
fraction of a system. Such spatial subsampling can be caused by the inaccessibility
or the sheer size of the system, and cannot be overcome by longer sampling. Spatial
subsampling can strongly bias inferences about a system’s aggregated properties.
To overcome the bias, we derive analytically a subsampling scaling framework that
is applicable to different observables, including distributions of neuronal avalanches,
of number of people infected during an epidemic outbreak, and of node degrees.
We demonstrate how to infer the correct distributions of the underlying full system,
how to apply it to distinguish critical from subcritical systems, and how to disentangle
subsampling and finite size effects. Lastly, we apply subsampling scaling to neuronal
avalanche models and to recordings from developing neural networks. We show that
only mature, but not young networks follow power-law scaling, indicating self-organization
to criticality during development.
