1.07.241 Freiwählbares Modul: Introduction to Network Analysis (Lehrsprache Englisch, Prüfungsleistung Deutsch oder Englisch) -  


Event date(s) | room

Description

This course offers a hands-on introduction to the concepts and methods of social network analysis (SNA) using the statistical programming environment R. Depending on research interests and data availability, researchers commonly look at networks of different sizes and degrees of complexity. In this class we will learn about tools to analyze these various types of networks. This will include egocentric networks (e.g. own family and friendship network) and complete networks of various sizes: e.g. friendship ties in a school class, informal communication networks in organizations, and large-scale, complex networks like co-citation networks of scientists or interaction networks on social networking websites. The course will combine lecture/seminar style presentations of the instructor with lab sessions in which students work on empirical exercises using R.
