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.

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.

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

Applied Network Science, 2021 Evidence from 184 countries over the span of 25 years is gathered and analyzed to understand North–North, South–South, and North–South international migration flows. Conceptually, the analysis borrows from network theory and Migration Systems Theory (MST)

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 ...

Assessing and accounting for time heterogeneity in stochastic actor oriented models [PDF]
Advances in Data Analysis and Classification, 2010 This paper explores time heterogeneity in stochastic actor oriented models (SAOM) proposed by Snijders (Sociological Methodology. Blackwell, Boston, pp 361-395, 2001) which are meant to study the evolution of networks. SAOMs model social networks as directed graphs with nodes representing people, organizations, etc., and dichotomous relations ...

Land, 2022 In some mountainous areas of Japan, the Ki-no-Eki system, in which wood is collected to thin the forest and is exchanged for community currency, has been specifically designed and implemented as a solution to current and emerging forest governance issues.

Analysing animal social network dynamics: the potential of stochastic actor‐oriented models [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 Summary Animals are embedded in dynamically changing networks of relationships with conspecifics. These dynamic networks are fundamental aspects of their environment, creating selection on behaviours and other traits. However, most social network‐based approaches in ecology are constrained to considering networks as static, despite several calls for

SSM: Population Health, 2021 Adolescents who feel depressed are likely to experience social isolation from friends. Previous studies have put forward at least four hypotheses that can account for the association between felt depression and social isolation.
