Testing Policy Theory with Statistical Models of Networks
This article presents a conceptual framework for clarifying the network hypotheses embedded in policy theories and how they relate to macrolevel political institutions and microlevel political behavior. We then describe the role of statistical models of networks for testing these hypotheses, including the problem of operationalizing theoretical concepts with the parameters of statistical models...

15 صفحه اولModels for Social Networks with Statistical Applications
The study of social networks is a new but quickly widening multidisciplinary area involving social, mathematical, statistical, and computer sciences (see Burt, Minor, & Associates, 1983, for application in diverse social environments; in the latter sciences, see Wassermann & Faust, 1994, and especially for the field of economics, see Dutta & Jackson, 2003). It has its own parameters and methodo...
متن کاملStatistical Inference in Autoregressive Models with Non-negative Residuals
Normal residual is one of the usual assumptions of autoregressive models but in practice sometimes we are faced with non-negative residuals case. In this paper we consider some autoregressive models with non-negative residuals as competing models and we have derived the maximum likelihood estimators of parameters based on the modified approach and EM algorithm for the competing models. Also,...
متن کاملNeural Networks and Statistical Models
There has been much publicity about the ability of artificial neural networks to learn and generalize. In fact, the most commonly used artificial neural networks, called multilayer perceptrons, are nothing more than nonlinear regression and discriminant models that can be implemented with standard statistical software. This paper explains what neural networks are, translates neural network jarg...
