Raymond M. Forecaster's Book


"In networks, we find self-reinforcing virtuous circles. Each additional member increases the network's value, which in turn attracts more members, initiating a spiral of benefits."

Here are some important points taken from M. Raymond Forecaster's Book Chapter Four "Network Forecasting" that I shall give more attention to:
  • Weak-ties vs Strong-ties in networks
  • The rule of diversity in networks
  • The 80/20 principle
  • Hierarchical networks
  • Distributive networks 
These, hopefully, will help to keep me focused and get my work done. While I still haven't decided on a particular topic for my research, I will keep my eyes open and post whatever interesting related information I find on this blog.
