empirical distribution of individuals that follow a medium and influencer

Description

Empirical distribution of individuals that follow a medium 𝑚 and influencer 𝑙 at time 𝑡 by the sum of Dirac delta distributions δ placed at the individuals’ opinions. This distribution describes the stochastic opinion instances at a given time and integrates to ∫ᴰ ρₘ,ₗ⁽ᴺ⁾(𝑥, 𝑡) 𝑑𝑥 ≔ 𝑛ₘ,ₗ⁽ᴺ⁾(𝑡), the proportion of individuals that follow medium 𝑚 and influencer 𝑙.

Defining Formula: ${\rho }_{m,l}^{(N)}(x,t)=\frac{1}{N}\sum _{\begin{array}{c}i:B_{im}=1\\ C_{il}(t)=1\end{array}}\delta (x-x_i(t))$

$B_{i}m$ represents medium follower matrix

$C_{i}m$ represents influencer individual matrix

$N$ represents total number of individuals

$\delta$ represents Dirac delta distribution

${\rho }_{m,l}^{(N)}$ represents empirical distribution of individuals

$t$ represents time

$x$ represents opinion

$x_i$ represents opinion
