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.

Setup‐Optimized Sequencing in Job Shops: Modeling Workstation Productivity and Lateness Behavior
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Setup‐optimized sequencing in job‐shop production creates a trade‐off between productivity improvement and schedule reliability. A WIP‐explicit modeling framework links sequencing‐induced productivity gains and lateness dispersion through the production operating curve.

Sinister connections: How to analyse organised crime with social network analysis?
Acta Universitatis Carolinae Philosophica et Historica, 2018 Networks have recently become ubiquitous in many scientific fields. In criminology, social network analysis (SNA) provides a potent tool for analysis of organized crime.
