A stochastic model of the tweet diffusion on the Twitter network (1209.5599v1)
Published 25 Sep 2012 in physics.soc-ph, cs.SI, and physics.data-an
Abstract: 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.
