Value of a friend, a friend of your friend, and a friend of the friend of your friend: Social discounting in n degrees of separation
Jones and Rachlin (2008) found that the amount of money a person is willing to forgo in order to give $75 to another person decreased as a hyperbolic function of perceived social distance, in the same way as occurs in intertemporal choice. This study aimed to extend this finding to the domain of social networks, in which social distance is defined by degrees of separation. A total of 334 partic...
متن کاملMaximizing Friend-Making Likelihood for Social Activity Organization
The social presence theory in social psychology suggests that computer-mediated online interactions are inferior to face-to-face, inperson interactions. In this paper, we consider the scenarios of organizing in person friend-making social activities via online social networks (OSNs) and formulate a new research problem, namely, Hop-bounded Maximum Group Friending (HMGF), by modeling both existi...
متن کاملViscosity Calculation of Supercritical Gases Based on the Rainwater-Friend Theory and the Modified Enskog Theory
A new correlation function for the calculation of viscosity for five typical supercritical gases is presented using the rainwater-Friend and modified Enskog theory. It is shown that by using accurate value for the thermal pressure and co-volume in the modified Enskog theory, this correlation function is suitable for calculation of the viscosity of supercritical gases, without any density an...
متن کاملVERTEXICA: Your Relational Friend for Graph Analytics!
In this paper, we present Vertexica, a graph analytics tools on top of a relational database, which is user friendly and yet highly ecient. Instead of constraining programmers to SQL, Vertexica offers a popular vertex-centric query interface, which is more natural for analysts to express many graph queries. e programmers simply provide their vertex-compute functions and Vertexica takes care of...
متن کاملComplexity Theory and Models for Social Networks
Much work in complexity theory employs agent-based models in simulations of systems of multiple agents. Agent interaction follows some standard types of network topologies. My aim is to assess how recent advances in the statistical modeling of social networks may contribute to agent-based modeling traditions, specifically, by providing structural characterizations of a variety of network topolo...
