Nonlinear Opinion Dynamics With Tunable Sensitivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
peer reviewedWe propose a continuous-time multioption nonlinear generalization of classical linear weighted-average opinion dynamics. Nonlinearity is introduced by saturating opinion exchanges, and this is enough to enable a significantly greater range ...

A Veritable Zoology of Successive Phase Transitions in the Asymmetric q-Voter Model on Multiplex Networks

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
We analyze a nonlinear q-voter model with stochastic noise, interpreted in the social context as independence, on a duplex network. The size of the lobby q (i.e., the pressure group) is a crucial parameter that changes the behavior of the system.

Opinion dynamics for agents with opinion-dependent connections [PDF]

open access: yes49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2010
We study a simple continuous-time multi-agent system related to Krause's model of opinion dynamics: each agent holds a real value, and this value is continuously attracted by every other value differing from it by less than 1, with an intensity proportional to the difference.

Generalized Solutions to Opinion Dynamics Models with Discontinuities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Social dynamics models may present discontinuities in the right-hand side of the dynamics for multiple reasons, including topology changes and quantization.

Opinion dynamics with highly oscillating opinions

open access: yesNeurocomputing
Opinion Dynamics (OD) models are a particular case of Agent-Based Models in which the evolution of opinions within a population is studied. In most OD models, opinions evolve as a consequence of interactions between agents, and the opinion fusion rule defines how those opinions are updated. In consequence, despite being simplistic, OD models provide an

Opinion Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
As a key sub-field of social dynamics and sociophysics, opinion dynamics utilizes mathematical and physical models and the agent-based computational modeling tools, to investigate the spreading of opinions in a collection of human beings.

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...
