Continuum rich-get-richer processes: Mean field analysis with an application to firm size
David Rushing Dewhurst, Christopher M. Danforth, Peter Sheridan Dodds
Classical rich-get-richer models have found much success in being able to broadly reproduce the statistics and dynamics of diverse real complex systems. These rich-get-richer model…
Slightly generalized Generalized Contagion: Unifying simple models of biological and social spreading
Peter Sheridan Dodds
We motivate and explore the basic features of generalized contagion, a model mechanism that unifies fundamental models of biological and social contagion. Generalized contagion bui…
A generalized model of social and biological contagion
Peter Sheridan Dodds, Duncan J. Watts
We present a model of contagion that unifies and generalizes existing models of the spread of social influences and micro-organismal infections. Our model incorporates individual m…
A simple person's approach to understanding the contagion condition for spreading processes on generalized random networks
Peter Sheridan Dodds
We present derivations of the contagion condition for a range of spreading mechanisms on families of generalized random networks and bipartite random networks. We show how the cont…
Measuring the happiness of large-scale written expression: Songs, Blogs, and Presidents
Peter Sheridan Dodds, Christopher M. Danforth
The importance of quantifying the nature and intensity of emotional states at the level of populations is evident: we would like to know how, when, and why individuals feel as they…
On the Thermodynamic Formalism for the Farey Map
Peter Sheridan Dodds
The chaotic phenomenon of intermittency is modeled by a simple map of the unit interval, the Farey map. The long term dynamical behaviour of a point under iteration of the map is t…
