Catch Me if You Can: Using a Threshold Model to Simulate Support for Presidential Candidates in the Invisible Primary (1.0.0)

We use a threshold model to drive our simulated network analysis testing public support for candidates in invisible primaries. We assign voter thresholds for candidates and vary number of voters, attachment to candidates and decay. Results of the algorithm show effects of size of lead, attachment and size of decay.
