A stochastic model of the tweet diffusion on the Twitter network
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a stochastic model which describes diffusions of tweets on the Twitter network. By dividing the followers into generations, we describe the dynamics of the tweet diffusion as a random multiplicative process. We confirm our model by directly observing the statistics of the multiplicative factors in the Twitter data.

Why Are You Sharing Others' Tweets?: The Impact of Argument Quality and Source Credibility on Information Sharing Behavior
Twitter, a 140-character microblogging social networking service, has garnered attention from researchers and practitioners due to its considerable potential for information diffusion. Prior studies on Twitter typically focused on how user traits or relationships in a network affect information diffusion. However, few studies have been conducted on how posted messages in the service influence t...
متن کاملCharacterizing Topic-Specific Hashtag Cascade in Twitter Based on Distributions of User Influence
As online social networks become extremely popular in these days, people communicate and exchange information for various purposes. In this paper, we investigate patterns of information diffusion and behaviors of participating users in Twitter, which would be useful to verify the effectiveness of marketing and publicity campaigns. We characterize Twitter hashtag cascades corresponding to differ...
متن کاملA hierarchical model of non-homogeneous Poisson processes for Twitter retweets
We present a hierarchical model of non-homogeneous Poisson processes (NHPP) for information diffusion on online social media, in particular Twitter retweets. The retweets of each original tweet are modelled by a NHPP, for which the intensity function is a product of time-decaying components and another component that depends on the follower count of the original tweet author. The latter allows ...
متن کاملEmergent User Behavior on Twitter Modelled by a Stochastic Differential Equation
Data from the social-media site, Twitter, is used to study the fluctuations in tweet rates of brand names. The tweet rates are the result of a strongly correlated user behavior, which leads to bursty collective dynamics with a characteristic 1/f noise. Here we use the aggregated "user interest" in a brand name to model collective human dynamics by a stochastic differential equation with multipl...

In this paper, a comprehensive mathematical model for designing an electric power supply chain network via considering preventive maintenance under risk of network failures is proposed. The risk of capacity disruption of the distribution network is handled via using a two-stage stochastic programming as a framework for modeling the optimization problem. An applied method of planning for the net...
