Time: Monday, 23/June/2025: 9:00am - 12:00pm Session Chair: Tomas Diviak Session Chair: Robert W Krause Session Chair: Filip Agneessens Session Chair: James Hollway |
This 3-hour workshop provides an introduction to statistical methods for analyzing social networks. The focus is on nodal and dyadic level analysis. We will be using R packages migraph, sna, and xUCINET to perform these analyses.
The course outline is as follows:
1) testing a network’s basic properties using conditional uniform graph (CUG) test (e.g., reciprocity, homophily)
2) nodal level statistical tests
3) permutation-based comparisons between groups of nodes
4) QAP correlation and linear regression – the underlying logic of QAP, data format etc.
5) QAP GLM – logistic, poisson, cognitive-social-structures, and other types and extensions
