A Hierarchical Allometric Scaling Analysis of Chinese Cities: 1991–2014

<div><i>A comparison between the change trend of MLE-based allometric parameter values and that of OLS-based parameter values.</i> [<i>Note</i>. Before 2002, there was a significant difference between the MLE-based results and OLS-based results. From 2003 on, the two sets of results went to be consistent gradually.]</div>
