In this example, it is natural to view the counties as nodes in a network, with edges between counties reflecting proximity. One could then model disease spread on a network through a regression model. Often Gaussian errors are assumed for such a model, but for count data this assumption may not be natural. With this motivating example in mind, we develop a model with the following features. We assume that the time series occur on the nodes of a known underlying network where the edges dictate the form of a structural vector autoregression model. In contrast to using a full vector autoregressive model, the network assumption is a means of imposing sparsity. Moreover we aim for a model that is able to accommodate heterogeneous node dynamics, and to cluster nodes that exhibit similar behaviour. To address these aims, we propose a new Bayesian Poisson network autoregression mixture model that we call a PNARM model, which combines ideas from Poisson network autoregression models, grouped network autoregression models, and non-uniform co-clustering priors.</p>","PeriodicalId":21842,"journal":{"name":"Social Network Analysis and Mining","volume":"15 1","pages":"70"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12271270/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144675694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common aim when working with Twitter data is the construction of a random sample of users from a given country. However, while several methods have been proposed in the literature, their comparative performance is mostly unexplored. In this paper, we implement four common methods to create a random sample of Twitter users in the US: <i>1% Stream</i>, <i>Bounding Box</i>, <i>Location Query</i>, and <i>Language Query</i>. Then, we compare these methods according to their tweet- and user-level metrics as well as their accuracy in estimating the US population. Our results show that users collected by the <i>1% Stream</i> method tend to have more tweets, tweets per day, followers, and friends, a fewer number of likes, are younger accounts, and include more male users compared to the other three methods. Moreover, it achieves the minimum error in estimating the US population. However, the <i>1% Stream</i> method is time-consuming, cannot be used for the past time frames, and is not suitable when user engagement is part of the study. In situation where these three drawbacks are important, our results support the <i>Bounding Box</i> method as the second-best method.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at. 10.1007/s13278-024-01327-5.</p>","PeriodicalId":21842,"journal":{"name":"Social Network Analysis and Mining","volume":"14 1","pages":"160"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11861139/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143524463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
