Building on previous actor-to-actor perspectives in service systems, this study mapped the dialectic trajectory of actor role and identity transitions context family caregiving. The employed theoretical lens drew in-depth, qualitative interviews with 22 unpaid caregivers caring for dependent relatives to demonstrate how caregiver roles identities co-evolve throughout caregiving journey. Our fin...

Social scientists have examined the causes and consequences of people’s engagement with politics for many decades, yet we only just begun to understand roles that health wellbeing play in involvement as members body politic. Findings from a nascent research suggest predicts decision turn out vote whether they feel can say political decisions more broadly, but still lack systematic understanding...

The analysis of social networks often assumes time invariant scenario, while in practice actor attributes and links in such networks often evolve over time and are inextricably dependent on each other. In this article, we propose a new method to predict actor attributes and links in temporal networks. Our approach takes into account the attributes corresponding to the participating actors toget...

In many areas of science unbounded (potentially infinite) data streams need to be processed in a continuous manner, e.g., to compute running aggregates or sliding window aggregates. One important example is the computation of Growing Degree Days (GDD) from a stream of temperature data, which provides a heuristic tool to predict plant development and the maturity of crops. The process of data ac...

Researchers are often interested in the relationship between two variables, with no single data set containing both. A common strategy is to use proxies for dependent variable that surveys impute into independent variable. We show commonly employed regression or matching-based imputation procedures lead inconsistent estimates. offer a consistent and easily-implemented two-step estimator, “re-sc...
