*ICPSR Summer Program Workshops*

*Introductory and advanced network analysis workshops*
Network analysis is an increasingly used method for describing and modeling
relationships between people, groups, agencies, businesses, organizations,
nations, or other units of interest. Network analysis is used widely in the
social and behavioral sciences, as well as in the health sciences,
communications, literature, history, business management, animal behavior,
linguistics, and biology. Network analysis can be applied to an array of
topics across a wide range of academic disciplines and practical research
areas. It has been used to analyze: social media communications; political
campaigns; disease transmissions; personal relationship interactions;
business partnerships; political connections among individuals, groups, and
institutions; sociolinguistic variation; regional and international
alliances; and private marketing strategies.

The ICPSR Summer Program is offering two upcoming workshops for anyone
interested in learning more about network analysis:

Network Analysis: An Introduction
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/courses/0186>
May 8-12, 2017  |  9 a.m.–5 p.m.  |  Ann Arbor, Michigan
Instructor: Ann McCranie (Indiana University)

Network Analysis: Statistical Approaches
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/courses/0176>
May 15-19, 2017  |  9 a.m.–5 p.m.  |  Ann Arbor, Michigan
Instructor: John Skvoretz (University of South Florida)


“Network Analysis: An Introduction” presents an introduction to various
concepts, methods, and applications of social network analysis. “Network
Analysis: Statistical Approaches” covers advanced statistical methods for
analyzing social network data, focusing on testing hypotheses about network
structure (e.g. reciprocity, transitivity, and closure), the formation of
ties based on attributes (e.g. homophily), and network effects on
individual attributes (social influence or contagion models).

You can register for one or both workshops. The registration fee for each
workshop is $1,700. Please note that we are offering a special package deal
for both workshops. Register for both workshops, and the total registration
fee is $2,500 (that's more than 25% off!).
