TL;DR: This work characterizes networked structures in terms of nodes (individual actors, people, or things within the network) and the ties, edges, or links that connect them.
Abstract: Social Network Analysis Methods And Social network analysis (SNA) is the process of investigating social structures through the use of networks and graph theory. It characterizes networked structures in terms of nodes (individual actors, people, or things within the network) and the ties, edges, or links (relationships or interactions) that connect them. Examples of social structures commonly visualized through social network ...

TL;DR: The authors show that Estate structuralism models are models of social structure in this technical sense because they assume a bystander mechanism in the creation of ties, and they show that such models produce "interesting" structure from a network point of view, in particular from the perspective of Holland and Leinhardt who argue that any network that can be modeled adequately using only properties of nodes and dyads has no social structure.
Abstract: The method of E‐state structuralism provides dynamic models for the evolution and development of networks in small groups. Our interest lies in the kind of social networks that these models produce. We ask the question of whether such models produce “interesting” structure from a network point‐of‐view, in particular, from the perspective of Holland and Leinhardt who argue that any network that can be modeled adequately using only properties of nodes and dyads has no social structure. We show that E‐state structuralism models are models of social structure in this technical sense because they assume a bystander mechanism in the creation of ties.
