The value of temporal data for learning of influence networks: A characterization via Kullback-Leibler divergence

We infer local influence relations between networked entities from data on outcomes and assess the value of temporal data by formulating relevant binary hypothesis testing problems and characterizing the speed of learning of the correct hypothesis via the Kullback-Leibler divergence, under three dif...

description We infer local influence relations between networked entities from data on outcomes and assess the value of temporal data by formulating relevant binary hypothesis testing problems and characterizing the speed of learning of the correct hypothesis via the Kullback-Leibler divergence, under three different types of available data: knowing the set of entities who take a particular action; knowing the order that the entities take an action; and knowing the times of the actions.
