Title: | Modelling multi-relational data with special attention to the average number of collaborators as a variable in informetric distributions | Authors: | EGGHE, Leo ROUSSEAU, Ronald |
Issue Date: | 1996 | Publisher: | PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD | Source: | INFORMATION PROCESSING & MANAGEMENT, 32(5). p. 563-571 | Abstract: | We prove a theorem about the invariance of the Lotka function under a transformation which maps numbers of authors as variables to number of collaborators as variables. Moreover, we describe a general approach to incorporate the average number of collaborators in a production function, even when the conditions of the theorem are not satisfied. This leads to a general framework to model multi-relational data. Several cases are described where this general model can be applied. | Notes: | UNIV INSTELLING ANTWERP,B-2610 WILRIJK,BELGIUM.Egghe, L, LIMBURGS UNIV CTR,UNIV CAMPUS,B-3590 DIEPENBEEK,BELGIUM. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/3379 | ISSN: | 0306-4573 | e-ISSN: | 1873-5371 | DOI: | 10.1016/0306-4573(96)00010-6 | ISI #: | A1996VJ87000006 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
