Abstract:

Subgroup or cluster structure is very common in social networks in that some individuals tend to associate more often with some members than others; however, subgroup structure varies across networks and given an ensemble of networks, it may be of interest to consider not only how subgroup structure varies but why it varies. We present a line of research that extends the Mixed Membership Stochastic Block Model (Airoldi et al., 2008) to both examine subgroup variability and incorporate such structure to address substantive research questions.
