MaRDI QIDQ6674458FDO

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.

Formula(s) and Quantities

$ρ_{m, l}^{(N)} (x, t) = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{\begin{matrix} i : B_{i m} = 1 \\ C_{i l} (t) = 1 \end{matrix}} δ (x - x_{i} (t))$
$B_{i} m$ represents medium follower matrix
$C_{i} m$ represents influencer individual matrix
$N$ represents total number of individuals
$δ$ represents Dirac delta distribution
$ρ_{m, l}^{(N)}$ represents empirical distribution of individuals
$t$ represents time
$x$ represents opinion
$x_{i}$ represents opinion
