Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity in Diffusion
Abstract
Standard models of diffusion assume spatial and temporal homogeneity. This article develops a class of diffusion models that incorporate spatial and temporal heterogeneity by turning to the individual level within an event-history framework. These models permit the analyst to represent social structural relations thought to channel diffusion, and to model decay in the influence of events over time. Heterogeneous diffusion models are applied to a reanalysis of data reported in Coleman, Katz, and Menzel's classic diffusion study. Network centrality and local structures of influence based on cohesive relations and structural equivalence are all shown to channel the diffusion of tetracycline.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
