Abstract:

The phrase "social network data" generally refers to information on the presence or absence of links between a collection of nodes. The information is often expressed in terms of adjacency matrices. In the talk, we will use the reduced rank approximation to represent the matrices. And we will introduce a matrix time series model to pool the information across different slices of the network. We will apply the model to an international trade example.
