Predictive Aspects of a Stochastic Model for Citation Processes.
Glanzel, W.; Schubert, A.
Information Processing & Management, v31 n1 p69-80 Jan-Feb 1995
A statistical model for citation processes is presented as a particular version of a nonhomogenous birth process. The mean value function and special transition probabilities, which can readily be calculated on the basis of known and estimated parameters, give essential information on the change of citation impact in time.
