longitudinal networks  

Definición

  • Networks representing relations that change over time are defined as longitudinal networks; in the social sciences, these relations may correspond to economic transactions or administrative linkages, friendship or family connections, mental and health conditions, communication threads, and associative linkages between organizations and nations. The interest in the study of longitudinal data dates back to early network analysis, but the problems in elaborating statistical techniques and models have long been an obstacle to research advancement.
