Analysis of mean-field approximation for Deffuant opinion dynamics on networks
Alina Dubovskaya, Susan C. Fennell, Kevin Burke +2
Mean-field equations have been developed recently to approximate the dynamics of the Deffuant model of opinion formation. These equations can describe both fully-mixed populations…
A generalised mean-field approximation for the Deffuant opinion dynamics model on networks
Susan C. Fennell, Kevin Burke, Michael Quayle +1
When the interactions of agents on a network are assumed to follow the Deffuant opinion dynamics model, the outcomes are known to depend on the structure of the underlying network.…
Agreement Threshold on Axelrod's model of Cultural Dissemination
Pádraig Mac Carron, Paul J. Maher, Susan Fennell +4
Shared opinions are an important feature in the formation of social groups. In this paper, we use the Axelrod model of cultural dissemination to represent opinion-based groups. In…
A modelling methodology for social interaction experiments
Susan C. Fennell, James P. Gleeson, Michael Quayle +2
Analysis of temporal network data arising from online interactive social experiments is not possible with standard statistical methods because the assumptions of these models, such…
