implementation of an activity-driven time-varying network model with a peer influence mechanism

README

This repository contains two implementations of the model that is described in the paper From calls to communities: a model for time varying social networks by Laurent et al.. It takes the original approach of a activity-driven network model by Perra et al. and adds three additional mechanisms:

1. a reinforcement process to model memory-driven interaction dynamics
2. focal and cyclic closure to capture patterns responsible for emerging community structures
3. a node removal process

Note that the model implemented here additionally includes a peer influence mechanism, which was the introduced in my Master’s thesis.
