Opis

Pioneering introduction of unprecedented breadth and scope to inferential and statistical methods for network analysis.

Recenzje

'The family of exponential random graph models have advanced with a number of extensions in recent years, many of them developed by the present authors. Encapsulating these advances with other methods of inferential analysis in a single reference that combines essential theory with hands-on examples makes this book a must-have for network modeling practitioners who want to use these powerful tools.' Peter Mucha, UNC Chapel Hill
