Analyzing behavior in light of social time
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a relational event history based on a data set, the relational event history comprising a set of relational events that occurred in time among a set of actors;
populating data in a probability model based on the relational event history, wherein the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, wherein the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics, and wherein at least one of the one or more statistics is determined using a decay function;
determining, by one or more processing devices, a baseline communications behavior for the relational event history based on the populated probability model, wherein the baseline comprises a first set of values for the one or more statistical parameters; and
determining, based on a second set of values for the statistical parameters, departures from the baseline communications behavior within the relational event history, wherein the second set of values for the statistical parameters are determined based on one or more subsets of the relational events included in the relational event history.

Abstract
A relational event history is determined based on a data set, the relational event history including a set of relational events that occurred in time among a set of actors. Data is populated in a probability model based on the relational event history, where the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, where the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics, and where at least one of the one or more statistics is determined using a decay function. A baseline communications behavior for the relational event history is determined based on the populated probability model, and, based on a second set of values for the statistical parameters, departures within the relational event history from the baseline communications behavior are determined.

11. A system comprising:
-
one or more processing devices; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media coupled to the one or more processing devices having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising; determining a relational event history based on a data set, the relational event history comprising a set of relational events that occurred in time among a set of actors; populating data in a probability model based on the relational event history, wherein the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, wherein the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics, and wherein at least one of the one or more statistics is determined using a decay function; determining, by one or more processing devices, a baseline communications behavior for the relational event history based on the populated probability model, wherein the baseline comprises a first set of values for the one or more statistical parameters; and determining, based on a second set of values for the statistical parameters, departures from the baseline communications behavior within the relational event history, wherein the second set of values for the statistical parameters are determined based on one or more subsets of the relational events included in the relational event history. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying one or more instructions thereon which, when executed, cause one or more computer processors to perform steps comprising:
determining a relational event history based on a data set, the relational event history comprising a set of relational events that occurred in time among a set of actors; populating data in a probability model based on the relational event history, wherein the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, wherein the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics, and wherein at least one of the one or more statistics is determined using a decay function; determining, by one or more processing devices, a baseline communications behavior for the relational event history based on the populated probability model, wherein the baseline comprises a first set of values for the one or more statistical parameters; and determining, based on a second set of values for the statistical parameters, departures from the baseline communications behavior within the relational event history, wherein the second set of values for the statistical parameters are determined based on one or more subsets of the relational events.
