Abstract

The exposed group play an important role in public opinion propagation since they can either spread or block the information. In this paper, focusing on the propagation uncertainty and spreading effect of the exposed users on the Internet, the SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered) model is reformulated by introducing new parameters. The improved SEIR model is used to depict the opinion propagation. With the help of MATLAB, we conduct extensive simulations to investigate the effect of various parameters of the model on the propagation of Internet opinion. The simulation results show that the infected probability of the exposed and the susceptible users affect both the outbreak time of opinion and the number of infected users, while the exposed probability of the susceptible users affects only the outbreak time of opinion, and the recovered probability of the exposed and infected users makes a difference on the largest number of infected users only. These conclusions can be helpful for the opinion managers to take measures after an opinion event happens.
