Abstract:
|
We consider issues in the design and analysis issues of "How many X's do you know?" surveys as a means of studying social networks. We first discuss the analysis of such data using multilevel regression so that the properties of a network can be studied in relation to the characteristics of the individuals in the network and subgroups of interest in the population. In designing new surveys of this type, we must consider network effects and response effects, including the depth of social connections, the effects of imperfect recall, the choice of groups of known size to use for normalization, and methods for learning about small and moderately-sized subpopulations.
