Description
The empirical study of social network dynamics and emergence of social structures is currently receiving considerable attention. For example, novel actor-oriented modeling strategies that can be used to study how network structures evolve dramatically change the way scholars assess the social world.
Investigating the dynamics of change in networks or networks at different points in time can give insights into how networks work and what the underlying mechanisms are. This workshop gives an introduction to advanced statistical methods for the analysis of network dynamics. Topics include multilevel discrete-time event history analysis, relational event analysis and stochastic actor- oriented network models (SIENA). The workshop covers the theoretical foundation of these methods, but also gives hands-on instructions and examples for performing such analyses.
Throughout the workshop we use the software R. Prior knowledge of R is not required, but it is an advantage.
