Moreover, the presence of such unexplained heterogeneity should be particularly worrisome for the statistical analysis of networks, given the complex dependencies that shape network formation combined with restrictive assumptions. In this presentation, Box-Steffensmeier and Morgan will demonstrate the importance of explicitly accounting for unexplained heterogeneity in exponential random graph models with a Monte Carlo analysis and applications.Dr. Jan Box-Steffensmeier's extensive research focuses on social science methods, including network analysis, event history and time series. Dr. Jason Morgan's research focuses on the analysis of political networks, computational social science and causal inference in the context of natural experiments.  The Methodological Colloquium Series is sponsored by the Quantitative Research, Evaluation and Measurement (QREM) program, the Research Methodology Center (RMC)and the QREM Graduate Student Organization in the Department of Educational Studies. 136 Ramseyer Hall College of Arts and Sciences asccomm@osu.edu America/New_York public

Short Description: “Modeling Unobserved Heterogeneity in Social Networks with the Frailty Exponential Random Graph Model”


Dr. Jan Box-Steffensmeier, divisional dean, College of Arts and Sciences and Vernal Riffe Professor of Political Science and Dr. Jason Morgan, postdoctoral researcher in political science, present “Modeling Unobserved Heterogeneity in Social Networks with the Frailty Exponential Random Graph Model.”

In the study of social processes, the presence of unobserved and unmeasured heterogeneity is a regular concern. Moreover, the presence of such unexplained heterogeneity should be particularly worrisome for the statistical analysis of networks, given the complex dependencies that shape network formation combined with restrictive assumptions. In this presentation, Box-Steffensmeier and Morgan will demonstrate the importance of explicitly accounting for unexplained heterogeneity in exponential random graph models with a Monte Carlo analysis and applications.

Dr. Jan Box-Steffensmeier's extensive research focuses on social science methods, including network analysis, event history and time series.
 
Dr. Jason Morgan's research focuses on the analysis of political networks, computational social science and causal inference in the context of natural experiments.
  
The Methodological Colloquium Series is sponsored by the Quantitative Research, Evaluation and Measurement (QREM) program, the Research Methodology Center (RMC)
