Locally Adaptive Dynamic Networks
Our focus is on realistically modeling and forecasting dynamic networks of face-to-face contacts among individuals. Important aspects of such data that lead to problems with current methods include the tendency of the contacts to move between periods of ...

Goodness of fit for stochastic actor-oriented models [PDF]
We propose a Mahalanobis distance–based Monte Carlo goodness of fit testing procedure for the family of stochastic actor-oriented models for social network evolution.

Friendship between banks: An application of an actor-oriented model of network formation on interbank credit relations [PDF]
This paper investigates the driving forces behind banks' link formation in the interbank market by applying the stochastic actor oriented model (SAOM) developed in sociology. Our data consists of quarterly networks constructed from the transactions on an

A relational approach to knowledge spillovers in biotech. Network structures as drivers of inter-organizational citation patterns [PDF]
In this paper, we analyze the geography of knowledge spillovers in biotech by investigating the way in which knowledge ties are organized. Following a relational account on knowledge spillovers, we depict knowledge networks as complex evolving structures

Who Helps Whom? Investigating the Development of Adolescent Prosocial Relationships [PDF]
We investigated adolescent prosocial relations by examining social networks based on the question "Who helps you (e.g., with homework, with repairing a flat [bicycle] tire, or when you are feeling down?)." The effects of individual characteristics ...

Exploring the Evolution of Innovation Networks in Science-driven and Scale-intensive Industries: New Evidence from a Stochastic Actor-based Approach [PDF]
Our primary goal is to analyse the drivers of evolutionary network change processes by using a stochastic actor-based simulation approach. We contribute to the literature by combining two unique datasets, concerning the German laser and automotive ...

The Role of Dependency Networks in Developer Participation Decisions in Open Source Software Ecosystems: An Application of Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models [PDF]
Open source software relies on the contributions of developers who participate voluntarily in projects. While prior research has investigated social characteristics, relations, and connections that influence a developer’s participation, we argue that the

Longitudinal methods to analyse networked learning [PDF]
We learn from others by example, through observation, or simply by combining known concepts to yield new concepts. While doing so, we inherently connect to one another (connectivism).
