The Origin Of Bursts And Heavy Tails In Human Dynamics, Nature
 









Excerpts: (...) turning the quantitative understanding of human behaviour into a
central question of modern science. Current models of human dynamics, (...),
assume that human actions are randomly distributed in time (...). In contrast,
there is increasing evidence that the timing of many human activities, ranging
from communication to entertainment and work patterns, follow non-Poisson
statistics, characterized by bursts of rapidly occurring events separated by
long periods of inactivity. Here I show that the bursty nature of human
behaviour is a consequence of a decision-based queuing process: (...).
