Structural inference in organizations
TLDR
In this paper, the sampling probability distributions of the number of links and the cumulative distribution of the numbers of components are derived for structural properties in an organization, and the probability estimates of both the number and the component counts are derived.Abstract:
This paper considers the statistical inference of structural properties in organizations. Specifically, the sampling probability distributions of the number of links and the cumulative distribution of the number of components are determined. Probability estimates of both the number of links and the number of components are then found.read more

Network Sampling: Some First Steps
TL;DR: In this article, a method for sampling average acquaintance volume (the average number of people known by each person) from large populations and derives confidence limits on the resulting estimates is presented.

Survey sampling in graphs
TL;DR: In this paper, the Horvitz-Thompson estimation theory is applied to snowball sampling and some other sampling procedures using a known or unknown graph structure in the survey population, and simple graph-parameter estimators and variance estimators are obtained which are based on various kinds of partial information about the graph.
Estimation of the Number of Connected Components in a Graph by Using a Sampled Subgraph
TL;DR: In this paper, the number of connected components in an unknown parent graph is estimated by using a sampled subgraph, where the subgraph is sampled from a transitive graph and a forest.

Sampling and Inference in a Population Graph
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of some of the statistical inference problems which have been considered in connection with sampling from a population graph has been presented, along with an overview of the methods used to solve them.

Probability distributions of random variables associated with a structure of the sample space of sociometric investigations
Leo Katz,James H. Powell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a disjoint decomposition of the total sample space for $n$-person, one-dimensional sociometric investigations is presented. But this decomposition is not suitable for the analysis of communication networks.
