Simpson's paradox explains the ubiquity of nonlinear, threshold, and complex contagions
Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Antoine Allard, Jean-Gabriel Young +2
Complex contagions describe systems where the probability or rate of contagious transmission is a nonlinear function of the exposure to contagious agents. These models were first s…
One pathogen does not an epidemic make: A review of interacting contagions, diseases, beliefs, and stories
Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Yong-Yeol Ahn, Antoine Allard +15
From pathogens and computer viruses to genes and memes, contagion models have found widespread utility across the natural and social sciences. Despite their success and breadth of…
Hierarchical team structure and multidimensional localization (or siloing) on networks
Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Guillaume St-Onge, John Meluso +2
Knowledge silos emerge when structural properties of organizational interaction networks limit the diffusion of information. These structural barriers are known to take many forms…
Influential groups for seeding and sustaining nonlinear contagion in heterogeneous hypergraphs
Guillaume St-Onge, Iacopo Iacopini, Vito Latora +4
Several biological and social contagion phenomena, such as superspreading events or social reinforcement, are the results of multi-body interactions, for which hypergraphs offer a…
Universal nonlinear infection kernel from heterogeneous exposure on higher-order networks
Guillaume St-Onge, Hanlin Sun, Antoine Allard +2
The colocation of individuals in different environments is an important prerequisite for exposure to infectious diseases on a social network. Standard epidemic models fail to captu…
Master equation analysis of mesoscopic localization in contagion dynamics on higher-order networks
Guillaume St-Onge, Vincent Thibeault, Antoine Allard +2
Simple models of infectious diseases tend to assume random mixing of individuals, but real interactions are not random pairwise encounters: they occur within various types of gathe…
