Five misunderstandings in animal social network analysis

๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ New preprint! Confused about how to model animal social networks?

ASNA can be confusingโ€”but also full of opportunity. We break down 5 common misunderstandings in animal social network analysis and share solutions from behavioural ecology, anthro, stats, & network science. Hope it helps!

Yes, I see what you're getting at, guess I misunderstood the question a bit. "Ordered pairs of vertices" is the math / graph-theory language for the unit of analysis, as jimi writes. I tend to think of multiple such attributes as a vector-valued tie variable.

In the book I'm writing with Tom Snijders, we call them "tie variables", those nร—(n-1) directed entities x_{ij} we usually analyse.
