Estimation of Global Network Statistics from Incomplete Data
Twitter Reply Networks
We apply our techniques to Twitter reply networks. These networks are constructed from tweets we collected via Twitter gardenhose API service between September 9, 1998 and November 17, 1998. Each network is weighted and directed, whereby entries in the (i,j) cell of the adjacency matrix represent the number of replies directed from node i to node j. Note that there is no correlation between node labels from week to week. For example, the individual represented by node 1 in Week 1 is not the same individual represented by node 1 in Weeks 2, 3 and so forth. Each network is presented as a Matlab (.mat) file.
