DOI 10.1145/3330431.3330456
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article is devoted to the problems of the analysis of computer social networks. The article describes an algorithm for a relatively new statistical method - rescaled range analysis, described by Harold Hearst. This time series analysis method allows you to determine if a time series is random or persistent, that is, it has a long-term memory. Describes data that can be used as temporary data. A program with data extraction and analysis modules was developed for the experiments. The rescaled range analysis algorithm is applied to the time data obtained from computer social networks and the conclusion is made about their persistent nature.
