CNET 5052 — Advanced Tools for Complex Network Analysis
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: TBostonTraditional
Delves into more advanced techniques for analyzing large, complex networks such as filtering, backboning, and embedding. Demonstrates how the presence of extra network features, such as a temporal dimension, requires more advanced and computationally demanding techniques. Presents a more formal treatment of network generative models, such as the stochastic block model; exponential random graphs with particular focus on sampling from such models; and the basics of network reconstruction involving appropriate statistical/inference methods.
