Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying those entities within a network that have the most influence on other entities within the network. A multi-relational network comprising links among a plurality of physicians is generated based on peer network data, wherein each link indicates a first physician that influences a second physician, and a weight of the influence. A decision by a treating physician of the plurality of physicians is decomposed, using a deep learning engine, into a magnitude of peer influence and a magnitude of control factor influence based on the multi-relational network and a plurality of control factors respectively. The magnitude of peer influence among one or more physicians in the multi-relational network is distributed among physicians in the multi-relational network based on the links each physician maintains with other physicians.
