“unverified proposition of belief that bears topical relevance for persons actively involved in its dissemination”
“unauthenticated bits of information in that they are deprived of “secure standards of evidence”.”
What is a rumor ?
?

Deterministic vs Stochastic
• How can we model a rumor ?
• Is a deterministic or stochastic approach better ?
• How do these approaches differ ?

Simple model assumptions
1. Total population size is extremely large;
2. The number of susceptibles remains roughly constant;
3. The size of the epidemic remains quite small;
4. Mass action interaction (homogeneous population);
5. In the stochastic model, forced recovery precedes other events;

SIMPLE MODEL - Deterministic Results
• Infected 0
• 2 “types” fixed points
(I*,R*) = (0,0) and (I*,R*)=(0,R)
• eigenvalue of 1 ?
• “epidemic” if (αN/) > 1.

SIMPLE MODEL - Stochastic Results
Stochastic model extinction of the rumor!!!

Effect of I0 on rumor life-time (both models)
Rumor life-time is inversely proportional to I0

NOT SO SIMPLE MODEL - Deterministic results
ELVIS IS ALIVE!?!?!
• Model with model extinction and “endemic” rumors
• None of the fixed points are stable...
![Page 19: RUMORS: How can they work ? Summer School Math Biology, 2007 Nuno & Sebastian.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d2b5503460f94a00259/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Effect of population size – stochastic model
![Page 21: RUMORS: How can they work ? Summer School Math Biology, 2007 Nuno & Sebastian.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d2b5503460f94a00259/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Effect of population size – deterministic model
• For the deterministic case population size only changes the scale of the epidemic
• In the stochastic model however, increasing the population size generates very different behaviour
![Page 22: RUMORS: How can they work ? Summer School Math Biology, 2007 Nuno & Sebastian.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d2b5503460f94a00259/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Not so simple model – comparison of deterministic & stochastic results
• For large (~ p4) coexistence is observed in both deterministic and stochastic
• For small deterministic predicts repeated outbreaks of the rumor. This is not possible in the stochastic model (by varying p4)
• For the deterministic model the population size does not make any difference, but population size affects the predictions of the stochastic model
![Page 23: RUMORS: How can they work ? Summer School Math Biology, 2007 Nuno & Sebastian.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d2b5503460f94a00259/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Summary
1. Rumors can be modelled similarly to infectious diseases;
2. Not so different models can give us very different predictions;
3. Under certain conditions, stochastic models predict very different results from deterministic ones
