This course is an introduction to the analysis and modeling of network data. Network analysis is a key tool in understanding relational data - data describing the relationships between pairs and groups of individuals, as well as the global structure of relationships. We will focus on applications to and building tools for research in the social sciences, but the methodology can be extended to other areas. By the end of the course, you should have a working knowledge of basic network analysis tools and be able to use them to analyze your own data.
