MODEL-BASED CHARACTERIZATION OF INFORMATION PROPAGATION TIME BEHAVIOR IN A SOCIAL NETWORK

摘要

The current application is directed to methods and systems that accumulate data with respect to the time behavior of posts related to one or more pages of an individual or organization within a social network and generate one or more models that characterize the time behavior of posts within the social network. These models, or heuristics based on these models, can be used to estimate characteristics and parameters of the time behaviors of individual posts prior to posting or at various times following posting of the posts to social-network pages.
