THE BOUNDED CONFIDENCE MODEL OF OPINION DYNAMICS [PDF]
Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2012 The bounded confidence model of opinion dynamics, introduced by Deffuant et al., is a stochastic model for the evolution of continuous-valued opinions within a finite group of peers. We prove that, as time goes to infinity, the opinions evolve globally into a random set of clusters too far apart to interact, and thereafter all opinions in every ...

When network bridges foster consensus. Bounded confidence models in networked societies
Physical Review Research, 2021 In this work we present results to the problem of the Hegselmann-Krause dynamics in networks obtained by an extensive study of the behavior of the standard order parameter sensitive to the onset of consensus: the normalized size of the giant cluster ...

Model Confidence Bounds for Variable Selection [PDF]
Biometrics, 2019 AbstractIn this article, we introduce the concept of model confidence bounds (MCB) for variable selection in the context of nested models. Similarly to the endpoints in the familiar confidence interval for parameter estimation, the MCB identifies two nested models (upper and lower confidence bound models) containing the true model at a given level of ...

Bootstrapping Upper Confidence Bound
CoRR, 2019 Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) method is arguably the most celebrated one used in online decision making with partial information feedback. Existing techniques for constructing confidence bounds are typically built upon various concentration inequalities, which thus lead to over-exploration.

Bounded-confidence model of opinion dynamics with heterogeneous node-activity levels
Physical Review Research, 2023 Agent-based models of opinion dynamics allow one to examine the spread of opinions between entities and to study phenomena such as consensus, polarization, and fragmentation.

Evolution of Bounded Confidence Opinion in Social Networks
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2017 We investigate opinion dynamics as a stochastic process in social networks. We introduce the stubborn agent in order to determine the impact of network structure on the emergence of consensus.

Adjusted Confidence Intervals for a Bounded Parameter [PDF]
Behavior Genetics, 2012 It is well known that the regular likelihood ratio test of a bounded parameter is not valid if the boundary value is being tested. This is the case for testing the null value of a scalar variance component. Although an adjusted test of variance component has been suggested to account for the effect of its lower bound of zero, no adjustment of its ...
