Information diffusion, Facebook clusters, and the simplicial model of social aggregation: a computational simulation of simplicial diffusers for community health interventions

摘要: By integrating the simplicial model of social aggregation with existing research on opinion leadership and diffusion networks, this article introduces constructs diffusers (mathematically defined as nodes embedded in simplexes; a simplex is socially bonded cluster) diffusing sets minimal covers complex; complex which clusters are embedded) to propose strategic approach for information cancer screenings health intervention Facebook community prevention control. This novel its incorporation interpersonally clusters, culturally distinct subgroups, different united entities that coexist within larger into computational simulation select highest degree dissemination. The unique contributions also include seven propositions five algorithmic steps computationally modeling data.
