Japanese term

相互伝播モデル

Japanese to English Science Mathematics & Statistics
Hi everyone,

The title of a paper I'm translating is 実世界の人の数と仮想世界のツイート数の相互伝播モデルの提案. The model describes the influence of the number of tweets on the number of people in a certain location. Literally translated we have "Mutual Spread Model", or "Mutual Transmission Model," but it feels wrong and such models don't seem to exist. I want to translate this as "Mutual Influence Model," but I was wondering if these seems okay or if anyone has a better term that could be used. The model simply uses statistical formulas to express how to two factors influence each other.

Thanks a lot,

Nick

@Nick For marketing-oriented work that title looks good. Since the model is a mathematical one, the authors may want to hang on to 伝播 (or not, it probably depends on what journal they plan to publish in).
Nicholas Hallsworth (asker) Feb 2, 2015:
Current thoughts Thank you all so much for your ideas and support. I think a simple title is going to work best because this is not a mathematics paper but a model that's going to be used to develop marketing tools. At the moment I'm thinking of something along the lines of "A model of the mutual interaction between the number of people in real space and the number of tweets in virtual space." I know 伝播 is missing, but maybe for the best!

diffusion model (with interaction effects)

More context is needed describing the proposed model. It sounds a little like "This paper shows that these two tasks can be addressed simultaneously with a probabilistic model involving a mixture of mutually exciting point processes" but there are many other possibilities.

"A (lagged) community influence model" seems to capture the key idea. You might find "spatial influence" or even "community-spatial influence" appropriate also. See

for ideas!

"Spatio/Temporal Graphical Models" are also worth considering. "Temporal" is a more usual term in this context than my "lagged".

"A Spatio/Temporal graphical model for the mutual interaction of agent numbers and location references" seems like a suitably inscrutable title :-)

Note from asker:
Thank you for your response! I will describe the proposed model in a bit more detail. The model consists of nodes and weighted links connecting the nodes. There are two variables, the number of people in a certain location in Tokyo and the number of tweets containing the name of that location each measured in a time series every 15 minutes over two months. The model expresses the influence of each value on the other value for each time step and the previous one time step, for example the strength of the influence of the number of tweets on the number of people and vice versa. It captures the statistical relationship between tweets in virtual space and people in real space. It looks at the peaks where each variable is influencing the other throughout different times of the day. However, the author states that, although there is strong statistical correlation, a direct relationship cannot be inferred because we don't know that the people posting the tweets are the same people in the location. Hope that helps!

agree Takeshi MIYAHARA : Based on searches, I believe every suggestion seems to go fine with this term, but then voting would be a help to choose one from these all nice suggestions :) http://hrcak.srce.hr/file/28748

I think the statistical term 'correlation' can be used instead of 'mutual influence', when there is no direct relationship.Pl.wait for a better answer.

Note from asker:
Thank you for your answer. In the model I'm translating, the two factors (no. of tweets and no. of people) influence each other statistically, but not directly because we cannot assume the the people posting the tweets are the same people visiting the location. Would this still be a mutual influence model, even thought the influence is not "direct" as such?

dissemination model of the mutual effects of A and B

I think mutual relationship (相互関係）or mutual effect (相互作用) is suitable. Other possibilities include:
Dissemination model of the interaction between A and B.
(of could be replaced with 'showing')
Dissemination model showing the interaction between A and B.
Do you think any of these would fit?

reciprocal propagation influence model

it's just an explanation of what model they have built
it's not a specialized type of model used which is easily googled
IMHO
Example sentence:

a novel propagation model that generalizes the classic Independent ... to detect a set of communities and their reciprocal influence strength.

Influence of a forest edge on acoustical propagation: experimental results. ... effects are not sufficient to explain the apparent non-reciprocal propagation.
