Abstract:

Network data often take the form of repeated interactions between senders and receivers tabulated over time. A primary question to ask of such data is which traits and behaviors are predictive of interaction. To answer this question, we introduce a framework for treating directed interactions as a multivariate point process: a Cox multiplicative intensity model using covariates that depend on the history of the process. We apply the resulting inferential framework to capture message sending behavior in a corporate e-mail network. The analysis gives a precise quantification of which static shared traits and dynamic network effects are predictive of message recipient selection.
