Abstract

As a subset of small group population beliefs, the emergent behaviors of powerful leaders in conflict with one another were modeled. Inputs to the model came from various news feeds that when ingested into the model, built evidence for the beliefs. The construction and execution of the leader belief model, a new predictive model validation process, and the implications are addressed.
