Inferential Network Analysis: attend my MethodsNet Summer School 2026 course in Vienna 6 - 10 July. Early-bird registration until 25 Feb, normal registration until 20 Apr 2026. Will cover #ERGM, #TERGM, #SAOM, #REM, LSM, #QAP, CUG, LOLOG, NAM. #SNA #NetworkScience #NetworkAnalysis #PhDTraining
From my Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Yuanyuan Shang at BlackRock. We modelled #network effects in LP and GP matching across various asset classes in the alternative assets industry (real estate, private debt, #PrivateEquity, etc) using #TERGM. #SNA #AcFinance #ERGM #CSS #CompSocSci #NetSci
Looking for a postdoc to collect and analyse policy network data in coastal communities in the east of England as part of the £3m ARISE project. Apply until 1 Feb. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPZ781/ #sna #networkanalysis #acjobs #polisky #polisci #publicpolicy #policyanalysis #netsci #ergm #network #postdoc
social network graph of a karate club from Zachary (1977)
joint posterior distribution for the two ERGM parameters
This is the third in my series of examples using the exchange algorithm for Bayesian inference with intractable likelihoods. Here I fit an exponential random graph model (ERGM) to the karate club social network from Zachary (1977). Using the R package Bergm […]

2/n On Monday, I had the chance to attend two workshops on advanced network statistics — one on statistical models for longitudinal networks, and another on using C++ to program new effects in SAOMs. #saom #dynam #ergm #rem
Version 1.1.3 of {ergm.ego}, a #rstats 📦 for #ergm modelling of #egodata, is now on #CRAN. This is mostly a bugfix and optimisation release. Details at cran.r-project.org/package=ergm... .
#ergm 4.9.0 #rstats 📦 is on #CRAN . This release improves robustness, introduces or improves some valued ERGM terms, and provides a more flexible way to specify parameters and target statistics. As always, see cran.r-project.org/package=ergm... .
Early-bird registration for my Inferential Network Analysis course open now until 11 March. Register at methodsnet.org/course/d02-0.... #SNA #ERGM #NetworkAnalysis #NetworkScience #ComplexSystems #Polisky #LatentSpace #NetworkFormation #PolicyNetworks #ResearchMethods #statnet #CSS #RStats #methods
Taught theoretically and with R #rstats, incl group exercises. Models include #ERGM, #TERGM, #QAP, #LatentSpace, #AMEN, #LOLOG, #SAOM, #network #autocorrelation, #REM. There will be opportunities to discuss your own research. Participants should bring laptop and have basic R and logit familiarity.

⚠️ #ergm 4.8.1 update changes its ABI; what you need to know is that packages listed at cran.r-project.org/package=ergm under "Reverse linking to:" may need to be rebuilt. The good news is that 'ergm' will now warn you if you need to do that. (Would a writeup on how it does that be useful?)
