Quantitative Sociodynamics Stochastic Methods and Models of Social Interaction Processes

Quantitative Sociodynamics presents a general strategy for interdisciplinary model building and its application to a quantitative description of behavioural changes based on social interaction processes. Originally, the crucial methods for the modeling of complex systems (stochastic methods and nonl...
