From: Large-scale forecasting of information spreading

Name

Description

Value

\(\Delta t\)

Length of model time unit

10 min

\(n\)

Number of iterations

72

\(T\)

Prediction period (\(n\Delta t = T\))

720 min = 12 h (for each IM)

\(p\)

Number of IMs

30

\(k\)

Number of batches (\(A\)—set of assimilation batches, \(A\)—set of check batches,\(A \subseteq C\))

\(\left| C \right| = 24\), to study the influence of the batch frequency following number of batches for assimilation were used: for 30 min \(\left| A \right| = 24\), for 60 min \(\left| A \right| = 12\)

\(l\)

The length of the time interval between batches (\(lk\)—the period of assimilation)

30 min ({30 min, 60 min, 90 min} to study the effect of the frequency of the batch)

\(N\)

The number of computational processes

8
