Finding Multiplier nodes without graph analysis
This article provides an overview of statistical indicators to find users that have a significant high impact of other users. In the past, this was mostly done by graph analysis. This approach uses indicators that need no graph analysis for their results.
Introduction
Multiplier nodes are users in social networks that have a significant number of friends and produce a high amount of network traffic. They communicate with other users or their posts were seen by a lot of people. Finding these users... continue reading

How NBDS learns to learn
After a long period of absence, I’m back to announce the 0.2.5 version of the neuron-based data structure called NBDS. This project was introduced in december 2010 as a concept. After that, the development of NBDS still continued, so I wrote abo...

Neuron based data structure – An implementation
Exactly one year ago, I came out with an idea of a neuron based data structure. In the first article about this idea, I tried to give an overview about, how this data model should work. In the article below, I introduce you to the implementation of th...

Ipsum – The PHP formula parser
Some time ago, I thought about that it would nice to have a smart piece of code, that calculates the result of a given formula. The next step, I thought about, was to integrate customized functions into the code. So, I wrote a parser, that is able to ...

Benford Calculation in PHP
Some month ago, I came out with an article about Benfords Law. This article deals with the summation and product formula based implementation in C. The algorithm is indeed cool for small statistical games, but not nice to use, when you have a set of n...

MySQL Schema Performance Considerations
The most optimization tricks for MySQL focus on query performance or server tuning. But the optimization starts with the design of the database schema. When you forget to optimize the base of your database (the structure), then you will pay the price ...

Nondeterministic Finite Automata in PHP
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about an implementation of a DFA (deterministic finite automaton) in PHP. Today, I present a implementation for an automaton, that is not deterministic. It means, that the automaton have no, one or more than one edg...
