Network data analysis

摘要

Apparatus for use in analyzing network data, the apparatus including an electronic processing device that determines network data representing a network having a number of nodes and links between the nodes, selects a model in accordance with a data type associated with the network data, the model being indicative of at least one trigger for a behavior of interest, selected network metrics and a mathematical relationship relating network nodes to the at least one trigger using the selected network metrics and determines at least one trigger associated with the network data, determines the selected metrics for the network data and uses the mathematical relationship, the selected network metrics and the identified at least one trigger to determine predicted nodes, the predicted nodes being nodes predicted to exhibit behavior of interest.

1. An apparatus for use in analyzing network data, the apparatus including an electronic processing device that:
a) determines network data representing a network having a number of nodes and links between the nodes; b) selects a model in accordance with a data type associated with the network data, the model being indicative of:
i) at least one trigger for a behaviour of interest;ii) selected network metrics; andiii) a mathematical relationship relating network nodes to the at least one trigger using the selected network metrics; and, c) determines at least one trigger associated with the network data; d) determines the selected metrics for the network data; and, e) uses the mathematical relationship, the selected network metrics and the identified at least one trigger to determine predicted nodes, the predicted nodes being nodes predicted to exhibit behaviour of interest.
