摘 要：Prediction problems typically assume the training data areindependent samples, but in many modern applications samples come fromindividuals connected by a network. For example, in adolescent healthstudies of risk-taking behaviors, information on the subjects' socialnetworks is often available and plays an important role throughnetwork cohesion, the empirically observed phenomenon of friendsbehaving similarly. Taking cohesion into account in prediction modelsshould allow us to improve their performance. Here we propose aregression model with a network-based penalty on individual nodeeffects to encourage similarity between predictions for linked nodes,and show that it performs better than traditional models boththeoretically and empirically when network cohesion is present. Theframework is easily extended to other models, such as the generalizedlinear model and Cox's proportional hazard model. Applications topredicting levels of recreational activity and marijuana usage amongteenagers based on both demographic covariates and their friendship
networks are discussed in detail and demonstrate the effectiveness ofour approach.
