Network analysis is an increasingly used method for describing and modeling relationships between people, groups, agencies, businesses, organizations, nations, or other units of interest. Network analysis is used widely in the social and behavioral sciences, as well as in the health sciences, communications, literature, history, business management, animal behavior, linguistics, and biology. Network analysis can be applied to an array of topics across a wide range of academic disciplines and practical research areas. It has been used to analyze: social media communications; political campaigns; disease transmissions; personal relationship interactions; business partnerships; political connections among individuals, groups, and institutions; sociolinguistic variation; regional and international alliances; and private marketing strategies.

“Network Analysis: An Introduction” presents an introduction to various concepts, methods, and applications of social network analysis. “Network Analysis: Statistical Approaches” covers advanced statistical methods for analyzing social network data, focusing on testing hypotheses about network structure (e.g. reciprocity, transitivity, and closure), the formation of ties based on attributes (e.g. homophily), and network effects on individual attributes (social influence or contagion models).
