Choice modelling in social networks using stochastic actor-oriented models [PDF]
Journal of Choice Modelling, 2020 Abstract Combining choice modelling with social network analysis, we show how the stochastic actor-oriented model for the co-evolution of networks and behavior (SAOM) can be used as a powerful statistical framework to empirically analyze network-related choices.

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,

Generalized Trust and Social Selection Process
Frontiers in Communication, 2021 Generalized trust relieves individuals in a socially uncertain situation from dyadic constraints of existing ties and helps them change ties with other individuals to acquire better resources.

Statistical methods for the estimation of contagion effects in human disease and health networks
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020 Contagion effects, sometimes referred to as spillover or influence effects, have long been central to the study of human disease and health networks. Accurate estimation and identification of contagion effects are important in terms of understanding the ...

Relative importance of effects in stochastic actor-oriented models [PDF]
Network Science, 2013 AbstractA measure of relative importance of network effects in the stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM) is proposed. The SAOM is a parametric model for statistical inference in longitudinal social networks. The complexity of the model makes the interpretation of inferred results difficult. So far, the focus is on significance tests while the relative

Contemporaneous Statistics for Estimation in Stochastic Actor-Oriented Co-evolution Models [PDF]
Psychometrika, 2019 Stochastic actor-oriented models (SAOMs) can be used to analyse dynamic network data, collected by observing a network and a behaviour in a panel design. The parameters of SAOMs are usually estimated by the method of moments (MoM) implemented by a stochastic approximation algorithm, where statistics defining the moment conditions correspond in a ...

Dynamic Evolution Analysis of Social Network in cMOOC Based on RSiena Model
Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2022 The network is a key concept which has been highly valued in connectivism. Research about the static characteristics of social networks in connectivist learning has been carried out in recent years, however, little knowledge exists regarding the ...
