Synopsis

The Econometric Analysis of Network Data serves as an entry point for advanced students, researchers, and data scientists seeking to perform effective analyses of networks, especially inference problems. It introduces the key results and ideas in an accessible, yet rigorous way. While a multi-contributor reference, the work is tightly focused and disciplined, providing latitude for varied specialties in one authorial voice.

• Answers both ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions in network analysis, bridging the gap between practice and theory allowing for the easier entry of novices into complex technical literature and computation
• Fully describes multiple worked examples from the literature and beyond, allowing empirical researchers and data scientists to quickly access the ‘state of the art’ versioned for their domain environment, saving them time and money
• Disciplined structure provides latitude for multiple sources of expertise while retaining an integrated and pedagogically focused authorial voice, ensuring smooth transition and easy progression for readers
• Fully supported by companion site code repository
• 40+ diagrams of ‘networks in the wild’ help visually summarize key points

From the Back Cover

The Econometric Analysis of Network Data serves as an entry point for advanced students, researchers, and data scientists seeking to perform effective analyses of networks, especially inference problems. It introduces the key results and ideas in an accessible, yet rigorous way, confining formal proofs to extensively annotated appendices. While a multi-contributor references, the work is tightly focused and disciplined, providing latitude for varied specialties in one authorial voice. Each of the six very long contributions includes worked examples, describes relevant computational tools, provides a number of illustrative examples, and is supported by a companion site code repository.
