Hawkes process-based technology impact analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• Proposing a Hawkes process-based patent citation analysis for technology forecasting.

• Assessing the future impact and uncertainty of a technology by employing future citation counts of the relevant patents.

• Modelling the idiosyncratic and dynamic behaviours of a technology’s evolution and obsolescence.

• Outperforming deterministic approaches in terms of accuracy and practicality.
