The institute will introduce the main concepts of SNA, for instance social capital, homophily, structural equivalence, and methods used in the social sciences. The methods topics include data collection, issues in study design, measures on nodes (centrality), measures on networks (density, reachability), positional analysis (cliques, blockmodels), duality and affiliation networks (ties between two or more levels of analysis), and statistical models for networks. This workshop is at the introductory level and will provide an overview of important aspects of SNA.
