The Threshold model was introduced in 1978 by Granovetter [#]_.

In this model during an epidemics, a node has two distinct and mutually exclusive behavioral alternatives, e.g., the decision to do or not do something, to participate or not participate in a riot.
In this model during an epidemic, a node has two distinct and mutually exclusive behavioral alternatives, e.g., the decision to do or not do something, to participate or not participate in a riot.

Node's individual decision depends on the percentage of its neighbors have made the same choice, thus imposing a threshold.
Node's individual decision depends on the percentage of its neighbors that have made the same choice, thus imposing a threshold.

The model works as follows:
- each node has its own threshold;
- during a generic iteration every node is observed: iff the percentage of its infected neighbors is grater than its threshold it becomes infected as well.
- during a generic iteration every node is observed: if the percentage of its infected neighbors is greater than its threshold it becomes infected as well.
