摘要
This paper examines the effect of the observation time on source identification of a discrete-time susceptible-infectedrecovered diffusion process in a network with snapshot of partial nodes.We formulate the source identification problem as a maximum likelihood(ML)estimator and develop a statistical inference method based on Monte Carlo simulation(MCS)to estimate the source location and the initial time of diffusion.Experimental results in synthetic networks and real-world networks demonstrate evident impact of the observation time as well as the fraction of the observers on the concerned problem.
