A theoretical and empirical comparison of the temporal exponential random graph model and the stochastic actor-oriented model [PDF]
Network Science, 2019 AbstractThe temporal exponential random graph model (TERGM) and the stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM, e.g., SIENA) are popular models for longitudinal network analysis. We compare these models theoretically, via simulation, and through a real-data example in order to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses.

Stochastic actor-oriented models for the co-evolution of networks and individual outcomes
Stochastic actor-oriented models (SAOMs) originated as models to explain network evolution over time. They have been extended in several directions. This chapter focuses on the extension of SAOMs for analyzing the co-evolution of networks and individual outcomes, such as behaviours, attitudes, and activities.

JasssBounded confidence and negative influence are two of the most important micro-level mechanisms employed in computational models of opinion dynamics to explain polarization of opinions. However, empirical evidence of both mechanisms is debatable. Two common limitations in existing empirical studies are (1) the limited external validity of laboratory ...

Stochastic actor‐oriented modelling of the impact of COVID‐19 on financial network evolution [PDF]
Stat, 2021 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has led to tremendous loss of human life and has severe social and economic impacts worldwide. The spread of the disease has also caused dramatic uncertainty in financial markets, especially in the early stages of the pandemic.

Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models of Functional and Structural Human Brain Networks in Aging
The human brain is a complex and dynamical system that changes throughout the lifetime. Non-invasive imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allow for the measurement of large-scale functional and structural connectivity networks in the brain. Beyond trends, the dynamics across long timescales are still poorly understood.

The dynamics of intergenerational closure and family networks of social cohesion
Frontiers in Sociology, 2023 We investigate the correlation of ties among school-children's parents with violence in schools, and two mechanisms of intergenerational closure (IC). Coleman described ties among parents of befriended children as IC.

Social Support and Network Formation in a Small-Scale Horticulturalist Population
Scientific Data, 2022 Evolutionary studies of cooperation in traditional human societies suggest that helping family and responding in kind when helped are the primary mechanisms for informally distributing resources vital to day-to-day survival (e.g., food, knowledge, money,
