Keywords: Social Netwroks, Information Diffusion, Statistical Inferences, Computational Simulations
With application of data science we are using computational analysis to develop predictive models that reveal diffusion of collective social behaviors over time. We are enhancing statistical inferential methods to describe information flow throughout a social network with empirical sampling and simulations. The breakthrough of these findings will enable social scientists to make inferences about an entire network through representative sampling.
