The Diffusion of Online Content Based On SEIR Model
We apply the SEIR model as in epidemic disease modeling to investigate the transmission dynamics of the spread of news online via different website functions,such as sharing,like,and headline effects.Aside of the mathematical analysis,we also perform simulations about the competition for headline position between two news in order to get insights about how the spread of a new message replaces that of an old message due to headline effects.Our study could be a starting point for developing a more realistic model about the online transmission dynamics of multiple messages.
