Measuring Generalized Preferential Attachment in Dynamic Social Networks | Camille Roth
; | Date: |
12 Jul 2005 | Subject: | Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems; Disordered Systems and Neural Networks; Networking and Internet Architecture; Discrete Mathematics; Physics and Society | nlin.AO cond-mat.dis-nn cs.DM cs.NI physics.soc-ph | Affiliation: | CREA | Abstract: | The mechanism of preferential attachment underpins most recent social network formation models. Yet few authors attempt to check or quantify assumptions on this mechanism. We call generalized preferential attachment any kind of preference to interact with other agents with respect to any node property. We then introduce tools for measuring empirically and characterizing comprehensively such phenomena, and apply these tools to a socio-semantic network of scientific collaborations, investigating in particular homophilic behavior. This opens the way to a whole class of realistic and credible social network morphogenesis models. | Source: | arXiv, nlin.AO/0507021 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
