Empiricism and Theorizing in Epidemiology and Social Network Analysis
The connection between theory and data is an iterative one. In principle, each is informed by the other: data provide the basis for theory that in turn generates the need for new information. This circularity is reflected in the notion of abduction, a concept that focuses on the space between induction (generating theory from data) and deduction (testing theory with data). Einstein, in the 1920...

متن کاملComputational Statistical Methods for Social Network Models.
We review the broad range of recent statistical work in social network models, with emphasis on computational aspects of these methods. Particular focus is applied to exponential-family random graph models (ERGM) and latent variable models for data on complete networks observed at a single time point, though we also briefly review many methods for incompletely observed networks and networks obs...
متن کاملSocial Network Models for the TDR System
The TDR system is an experimental multi-level slow intelligence system for personal health care. The TDR system can be used by a single user or a group of users who will interact to understand, maintain and improve each other’s state of health. In this paper, we simulate social networks by applying the Abstract Machine model. Two social network models are described: the Circulated Model and the...
متن کاملClusterwise p* models for social network analysis
Clusterwise p∗ models are developed to detect differentially functioning network models as a function of the subset of observations being considered. These models allow the identification of subgroups (i.e., clusters) of individuals who are ‘structurally’ different from each other. These clusters are different from those produced by standard blockmodeling of social interactions in that the goal...
