How large should academic departments be?
Jan Bachmann, Lisette Espín-Noboa, Fariba Karimi +3
Academic departments are the primary unit of scholarship and education at universities, and they vary vastly in their sizes. However, the consequences and natural dynamics of depar…
A model for efficient dynamical ranking in networks
Andrea Della Vecchia, Kibidi Neocosmos, Daniel B. Larremore +2
We present a physics-inspired method for inferring dynamic rankings in directed temporal networks - networks in which each directed and timestamped edge reflects the outcome and ti…
The Dynamics of Faculty Hiring Networks
Eun Lee, Aaron Clauset, Daniel B. Larremore
Faculty hiring networks-who hires whose graduates as faculty-exhibit steep hierarchies, which can reinforce both social and epistemic inequalities in academia. Understanding the me…
Community Detection in Bipartite Networks with Stochastic Blockmodels
Tzu-Chi Yen, Daniel B. Larremore
In bipartite networks, community structures are restricted to being disassortative, in that nodes of one type are grouped according to common patterns of connection with nodes of t…
A physical model for efficient ranking in networks
Caterina De Bacco, Daniel B. Larremore, Cristopher Moore
We present a physically-inspired model and an efficient algorithm to infer hierarchical rankings of nodes in directed networks. It assigns real-valued ranks to nodes rather than si…
Dynamics of beneficial epidemics
Andrew Berdahl, Christa Brelsford, Caterina De Bacco +12
Pathogens can spread epidemically through populations. Beneficial contagions, such as viruses that enhance host survival or technological innovations that improve quality of life,…
Social Climber attachment in forming networks produces phase transition in a measure of connectivity
Dane Taylor, Daniel B. Larremore
Formation and fragmentation of networks is typically studied using percolation theory, but most previous research has been restricted to studying a phase transition in cluster size…
