(a) Switching in a Facebook network44 between meta-stable ordered states. Average opinion, weighted by eigenvector centrality (η i for node i), is shown versus time. Parameters are βλ = 1.37 and f i = 0.02 \(\forall i\), where λ is the largest eigenvalue of A. The arrow indicates the switching time. (b) Histogram of the stochastic trajectory corresponding to (a). The predicted distribution is shown in red from solving Eqs (7–9).
