Tang W.-H.Yeh M.-Y.Lee A.J.T.2019-07-242019-07-2420149781479969913https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/415111In this work, we investigate the impact of social influence of a Facebook fan page on movie box offices. We aim to enhance the accuracy of predicting the box office by leveraging the social influence among users in the fan page. We develop the Global Influence Model to compute the user influence and predict the engagements between the fan page and users. In addition, we propose the Linear Box Office Revenue Prediction Model to bridge the gap between Facebook fan pages and the box offices by utilizing the social influence and some statistics obtained from Facebook fan pages. By considering the social influence, the accuracy of forecasting box offices for movies can be improved significantly. ? 2014 IEEE.information diffusionsocial networktime-series predictionconference paper10.1109/DSAA.2014.70580942-s2.0-84988299574https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84988299574&doi=10.1109%2fDSAA.2014.7058094&partnerID=40&md5=676860815e43b684ed823a794f7574f6
