Modeling and Prediction for Processes on Network Graphs

摘要: Throughout this book so far, we have seen numerous examples of network graphs that provide representations—useful for various purposes—of the interaction among elements in a system under study. Often, however, it is some quantity (or attribute) associated with each ultimately most interest. In such settings frequently not unreasonable to expect be influenced an important manner by interactions elements. For example, behaviors and beliefs people can strongly their social interactions; proteins are more similar other, respect DNA sequence information, often responsible same or related functional roles cell; computers easily accessible computer infected virus may turn themselves become quickly infected; relative concentration species environment (e.g., animal forest chemical vat) vary over time as result nature relationships species.
