Computational socioeconomics

Gao, Jian ; Zhang, Yi-Cheng ; Zhou, Tao

In: Physics Reports, 2019, vol. 817, p. 1–104

Uncovering the structure of socioeconomic systems and timely estimation of socioeconomic status are significant for economic development. The understanding of socioeconomic processes provides foundations to quantify global economic development, to map regional industrial structure, and to infer individual socioeconomic status. In this review, we will make a brief manifesto about a new ...

Toward link predictability of complex networks

Lü, Linyuan ; Pan, Liming ; Zhou, Tao ; Zhang, Yi-Cheng ; Stanley, H. Eugene

In: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015, vol. 112, no. 8, p. 2325–2330

The organization of real networks usually embodies both regularities and irregularities, and, in principle, the former can be modeled. The extent to which the formation of a network can be explained coincides with our ability to predict missing links. To understand network organization, we should be able to estimate link predictability. We assume that the regularity of a network is reflected in...

Identifying influential spreaders by weighted LeaderRank

Li, Qian ; Zhou, Tao ; Lü, Linyuan ; Chen, Duanbing

In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2014, vol. 404, p. 47–55

Identifying influential spreaders is crucial for understanding and controlling spreading processes on social networks. Via assigning degree-dependent weights onto links associated with the ground node, we proposed a variant to a recent ranking algorithm named LeaderRank (Lü et al., 2011). According to the simulations on the standard SIR model, the weighted LeaderRank performs better than...

Positive periodic solutions of an epidemic model with seasonality

Sun, Gui-Quan ; Bai, Zhenguo ; Zhang, Zi-Ke ; Zhou, Tao ; Jin, Zhen

In: The Scientific World Journal, 2013, vol. 2013, p. -

An SEI autonomous model with logistic growth rate and its corresponding nonautonomous model are investigated. For the autonomous case, we give the attractive regions of equilibria and perform some numerical simulations. Basic demographic reproduction Rd number is obtained. Moreover, only the basic reproduction number R0 cannot ensure the existence of the positive equilibrium, which needs...

Identifying influential nodes in large-scale directed networks: the role of clustering

Chen, Duan Bing ; Gao, Hui ; Lü, Linyuan ; Zhou, Tao

In: PLoS ONE, 2013, vol. 8, no. 10, p. e77455

Identifying influential nodes in very large-scale directed networks is a big challenge relevant to disparate applications, such as accelerating information propagation, controlling rumors and diseases, designing search engines, and understanding hierarchical organization of social and biological networks. Known methods range from node centralities, such as degree, closeness and betweenness, to...

Deviation of Zipf’s and Heaps’ laws in human languages with limited dictionary sizes

Lü, Linyuan ; Zhang, Zi-Ke ; Zhou, Tao

In: Scientific Reports, 2013, vol. 3, p. -

Zipf's law on word frequency and Heaps' law on the growth of distinct words are observed in Indo-European language family, but it does not hold for languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean. These languages consist of characters, and are of very limited dictionary sizes. Extensive experiments show that: (i) The character frequency distribution follows a power law with exponent close to one, at...

Potential theory for directed networks

Zhang, Qian-Ming ; Lü, Linyuan ; Wang, Wen-Qiang ; Zhu, Yu-Xiao ; Zhou, Tao

In: PLoS ONE, 2013, vol. 8, no. 2, p. e55437

Uncovering factors underlying the network formation is a long-standing challenge for data mining and network analysis. In particular, the microscopic organizing principles of directed networks are less understood than those of undirected networks. This article proposes a hypothesis named potential theory, which assumes that every directed link corresponds to a decrease of a unit potential and...
