A piecewise power-law model with shape parameter alpha, growth rate R, and duration T describes word diffusion, with large-scale blog and search data showing alpha mode near 0.5 and sub-exponential growth in 55% of 2,963 analyzed patterns.
We use it in parallel with blog post counts to quantify social interest (see the red circles in Fig

Sub-exponential Growth Dynamics in Complex Systems: A Piecewise Power-Law Model for the Diffusion of New Words and Names
A piecewise power-law model with shape parameter alpha, growth rate R, and duration T describes word diffusion, with large-scale blog and search data showing alpha mode near 0.5 and sub-exponential growth in 55% of 2,963 analyzed patterns.
