This workshop is intended for participants who have experience in working with RSiena.
Topics treated will be the following – all in the framework of modelling network panel data using the RSiena package
1. Parameter interpretation: semi-standardized parameters; entropy-based approach to explained variation.
2. Score-type tests.
3. Problems with convergence: various kinds.
4. Elementary effects and contextual effects.
5. Multivariate networks: cross-network effects; with attention to the associated hierarchy requirements.
6. Two-mode networks, and their co-evolution with one-mode networks.
7. Some effects that are little known, but which may be useful for analyzing two-mode networks.
8. If time allows: Non-directed networks.
9. If time allows: Valued networks (two kinds: networks with weak and strong ties; signed networks).
