Dynamic social network modeling and perspectives in OPAALS frameworks
Abstract: Social Networks Analysis (SNA) plays an important role in OPAALS, since it is subject in many WPs and their tasks, in a way that results and conclusions from a specific research problem are interchangeable among different research frameworks. This paper intends to present a suggestion for SNA over panel data, based on a statistical and dynamic perspective, rather than purely static and mathematical. The difference is in the fact that probabilistic components are included in the model allowing quantification of some parameters that can have direct or indirect influence over the network behavior. Knowledge about those parameters could give important information on how networks behaves and evolve, based on the influence of covariates (variables), and then how we could simulate more realistic scenarios. Some purposes about the utilization in OPAALS tasks are discussed.
