STSM application for the Action CA1509
Title: Multilevel analysis of social network data for continuous and binary responses; methodological and software issues.
Host: Vincent Lorant, Université catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium
Beneficiary: Prof Mark Tranmer, University of Glasgow, United-Kingdom
NB.: This Seminar is supported by the SFR and the COST program
Objective: The objective of this application is to promote the application of multilevel analysis of network data for a variety of substantive social and health examples, including the most extensive social network survey carried out in in Europe with adolescents, the SILNE and SILNE-R project (2012-2018) funded by the FP7 and Horizon2020. This STSM will target both senior and junior researchers and Phd students from the UCLouvain. This STSM reciprocates the STSM to support the visit of Professor Lorant in Glasgow in February 2017.
Motivations: Most social network analyses models available so far either are applied to a limited number of networks or required meta-analysis of models applied to one network.
Also, increasingly, multiple networks are embedded in different contexts that need to be taken into account. Recently, prof Tranmer (Tranmer et al., 2014) proposed to use multiple classification multiple membership models to consider both the multiple membership of egos in different dyads meanwhile ego is member of different classifications.
Mark Tranmer is Professor of quantitative analysis in Social Sciences at the University of Glasgow (UK). He has a Phd in Social Statistics and is an expert in multilevel analysis of social network data. He is also a specialist in multiple membership. He has given many lectures in UK and abroad and has written many papers and books on these topics.
