SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONDUCTING MORE RELIABLE ASSESSMENTS WITH CONNECTIVITY STATISTICS
First Claim
1. A method for determining the network connectivity between a first node and a second node connected to the first node by at least one path, the method comprising:
- identifying paths to the second node from the first node within a network community; and
using processing circuitry to;
determine a path score for each identified path;
determine a user connectivity value between the first node and the second node;
determine at least one connectivity statistics value for the first node;
combine the at least one connectivity statistics value and the user connectivity value between the first node and the second node to produce a network connectivity indication; and
output the network connectivity indication.

Abstract
Systems and methods for social graph data analytics to determine the connectivity between nodes within a community are provided. A user may assign user connectivity values to other members of the community, or connectivity values may be automatically harvested, calculated, or assigned from third parties or based on the frequency of interactions between members of the community. The paths connecting a first node to a second node may be retrieved, and social graph data analytics may be used to determine a network connectivity value from all or a subset of all of the retrieved paths and/or one or more connectivity statistics value associated with the first node and/or the second node. Network connectivity values and/or other social graph data may be outputted to third-party processes and services for use in initiating automatic transactions or making automated network-based or real-world decisions.
