Description

This workshop will provide an introduction to Exponential Random Graph Mod els (ERGMs), followed by some example applications on historical networks. ERGMs are a family of statistical models that help discover the processes underlying network formation [1–3]. They have been used extensively in social network analysis and are popular in various fields such as sociology [4, 5], archaeology [6], and history [7]. Within this framework, one can:

  • Define a model for a network that includes covariates representing features like homophily, mutuality, triad effects, and a wide range of other structural features
  • Obtain maximum-likehood estimates for the parameters of the specified model
  • Test individual coefficients, assess models for convergence and goodness-of-fit – Simulate new networks from the underlying probability distribution implied by the fitted model

Prerequisites

  • Basic concepts of statistics (mean, standard deviation, probability distribution)
  • Basic concepts of network analysis (nodes, edges, degree, transitivity) – Basic familiarity with R (network and sna packages)
