SINT: Simulation and Analysis of Social Influence Network Models

Tools for specifying, analyzing and simulating models of social influence network theory based on the Friedkin-Johnsen model, Friedkin and Johnsen (1990) <doi:10.1080/0022250X.1990.9990069>, which includes the consensus model of DeGroot (1974) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1974.10480137> as a special case. Equilibrium opinions, total influence matrices and convergence diagnostics are computed in closed form, also for signed networks with antagonistic ties, Altafini (2013) <doi:10.1109/TAC.2012.2224251>. Simulations allow influence weights and susceptibilities to depend on time and on the state of the system, and can couple latent opinions with manifest responses through logistic or threshold response functions, whose results are aggregated into collective outcomes by quota rules.
