A Framework for the Comparison of Maximum Pseudo Likelihood and Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Exponential Family Random Graph Models

The statistical modeling of social network data is difficult due to the complex dependence structure of the tie variables. Statistical exponential families of distributions provide a flexible way to model such dependence. They enable the statistical …

networksis: A Package to Simulate Bipartite Graphs with Fixed Marginals through Sequential Importance Sampling

The ability to simulate graphs with given properties is important for the analysis of social networks. Sequential importance sampling has been shown to be particularly effective in estimating the number of graphs adhering to fixed marginals and in …

statnet: Software Tools for the Representation, Visualization, Analysis and Simulation of Network Data

statnet is a suite of software packages for statistical network analysis. The packages implement recent advances in network modeling based on exponential-family random graph models (ERGM). The components of the package provide a comprehensive …

Bridge Populations in the Spread of HIV/AIDS in Thailand

Objective: To determine the extent to which men provide a bridge population between commercial sex workers (CSW) and the general female population in Thailand. Design: Sexual network and serological data were collected from a systematic quota sample …
