Reply to Comment on "The origin of bursts and heavy tails in human dynamics"

Abstract

Understanding human dynamics is of major scientific and practical importance and can be increasingly addressed in a quantitative fashion thanks to electronic records capturing various human activity patterns. The authors of Ref. [1] revisit the datasets studied in Ref. [2], making four technical observations. Some of the observations of Ref. [1] are based on the authors' unfamiliarity with the details of the data collection process and have little relevance to the findings of Ref. [2] and others are resolved in quantitative fashion by other authors [3].
