Welcome to DISim’s documentation!

About

DISim simulates various diffusion of innovation network models.

It’s first implementation is a reproduction of Abrahamson and Rosenkopf’s 1997 Extent of Innovation Diffusion model [AR1997].

The 1997 model contained 3 sets of simulations:

1. Basic model of faddish diffusion (bandwagon pressure)
2. Relaxes assumption of equal sensitivity to information creating bandwagon pressure
3. Model based on learning instead of fads

In the Modules section, you will find the source code documentation and links to stylized source code for easy reference and validation.
