This event forms a part of the M Summer. School 2025 from the Mitchell Centre
This course offers an in-depth overview of statistical models for social network analysis.
The course covers some of the core statistical methods, including Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs), Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models (SAOMs/SIENA) and Relational Event Models (REMs). In addition, we will cover tERGMs, autoregressive models (ALAAMs) and ERGMs/SAOMs for two/mode and multi groups (multilevel). The last day participants will be able to choose between advanced longitudinal network models, or semantic and socio-semantic network modelling with automap and mpnet.
The course is hands-on, offering participants the opportunity to analyse real social network data. In addition, the course offers the participants the opportunity to discuss their own projects with relevant experts from the Mitchell Centre.
For most of the analysis, we will be using R (as well as MPNet). No prior knowledge of R is required, but basic knowledge of social network analysis and quantitative methods is recommended (see also the course in the first week of the Summer School).
