InfluenceDiffusion 0.0.12

InfluenceDiffusion package

InfluenceDiffusion

InfluenceDiffusion is a Python library that provides instruments for working with influence diffusion models on graphs. In particular, it contains implementations of

• Popular diffusion models such as Independent Cascade, (General) Linear Threshold, etc.
• Methods for estimating parameters of these models

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install InfluenceDiffusion.

pip install InfluenceDiffusion

Usage

# Imports
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from networkx import erdos_renyi_graph

from InfluenceDiffusion.Graph import Graph # class inheriting from nx.DiGraph
from InfluenceDiffusion.influence_models import LTM 
from InfluenceDiffusion.estimation_models.EMEstimation import LTWeightEstimatorEM 
from InfluenceDiffusion.weight_samplers import make_random_weights_with_indeg_constraint

# Sample an Erdos-Renyi graph 
g_nx = erdos_renyi_graph(50, p=0.1, directed=True)
g = Graph(edge_list=g_nx.edges)

# Set ground-truth LT model edge weights (in-degree of each node is at most 1)
weights = make_random_weights_with_indeg_constraint(g, indeg_ub=1)
g.set_weights(weights)

# Sample traces from an LT model on this graph
ltm = LTM(g)
traces = ltm.sample_traces(1000)

# Estimate the weights using the traces
ltm_estimator = LTWeightEstimatorEM(g)
pred_weights = ltm_estimator.fit(traces)

# Compare with the ground-truth weights
plt.scatter(weights, pred_weights)
plt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], linestyle='--', c='black')
plt.xlabel("True weights")
plt.ylabel("Predicted weights")
plt.show()
