Peter D. Hoff,Michael D. Ward +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used linear and bilinear random effects models to represent statistical dependencies that often characterize dyadic data such as international relations, and applied this new approach to the political relations among a wide range of political actors in Central Asia over the period 1989-1999, illustrating the presence and strength of second and third-order statistical dependencies in these data.
