Sequential Social Network Data.

TLDR
A new method is proposed for the statistical analysis of dyadic social interaction data measured over time based on loglinear models for the probabilities for various dyad (or actor pair) states and generalizes the statistical methods proposed by Holland and Leinhardt (1981), Fienberg, Meyer, & Wasserman (1985), and Wasserman (1987) for social network data.
Abstract
A new method is proposed for the statistical analysis of dyadic social interaction data measured over time. The data to be studied are assumed to be realizations of a social network of a fixed set of actors interacting on a single relation. The method is based on loglinear models for the probabilities for various dyad (or actor pair) states and generalizes the statistical methods proposed by Holland and Leinhardt (1981), Fienberg, Meyer, & Wasserman (1985), and Wasserman (1987) for social network data. Two statistical models are described: the first is an “associative” approach that allows for the study of how the network has changed over time; the second is a “predictive” approach that permits the researcher to model one time point as a function of previous time points. These approaches are briefly contrasted with earlier methods for the sequential analysis of social networks and are illustrated with an example of longitudinal sociometric data.

TL;DR: Stochastic actor-based models as discussed by the authors are models for network dynamics that can represent a wide variety of influences on network change, and allow to estimate parameters expressing such influences, and test corresponding hypotheses.

The statistical evaluation of social network dynamics

TL;DR: A class of statistical models is proposed for longitudinal network data that are continuous-time Markov chain models that can be implemented as simulation models and statistical procedures are proposed that are based on the method of moments.

The Misalignment of Product Architecture and Organizational Structure in Complex Product Development

TL;DR: This research investigates how organizational and system boundaries, design interface strength, indirect interactions, and system modularity impact the alignment of design interfaces and team interactions and shows how boundary effects moderate the impact of design Interface strength and indirect team interactions,and are contingent on system modularities.
