Title<br />
Statistical models for ties and actors<br />
Abstract<br />
An overview of statistical models that can deal with the combination of<br />
cross-sectional network data and and individual actor and/or dyadic attributes is<br />
presented. These models can be categorized by the type of research question<br />
they can answer, either focusing on the relationships (ties) or on explaining<br />
differences at the individual level (actors). The accompanying models are on the<br />
one hand (logistic) regression-type models with a complex dependence<br />
structure, predicting the occurrence or strength of ties or stochastic block<br />
models classifying or grouping the actors in the network. The models are<br />
presented and compared using an example data set. Some attention will be<br />
given to available software for the estimation of the models.
