Analysis of influence and its applications in social advertising by Zhu, Yuqing

“…Given the result of an advertising campaign, we formulate the problem for OSN providers to measure the influence contributions of influential users to produce the campaign result, namely influence contribution allocation (ICA). We make a connection between ICA and the concept of Shapley value in cooperative game theory to reveal the rationale behind ICA. …”
