论文摘要
枪支暴力和大规模枪击事件是美国面临的备受瞩目的流行病学问题,有关其具有传染性在新闻媒体中流行的问题。通过使用非参数鹰的过程,我们研究了大规模射击目录中传染性存在的证据,并突出了使用此类非参数点过程模型在建模此类事件时的更广泛好处。
Gun violence and mass shootings are high-profile epidemiological issues facing the United States with questions regarding their contagiousness gaining prevalence in news media. Through the use of nonparametric Hawkes processes, we examine the evidence for the existence of contagiousness within a catalog of mass shootings and highlight the broader benefits of using such nonparametric point process models in modeling the occurrence of such events.
