From the History of Network Visualization, Indicators of Interdisciplinarity, to the Career of Metaphor: Formal and Computational Methods and the Illumination of Patterns Otherwise Unknowable

Description:

From visualizing thousands of social relationships, operationalizing measures that offer us insight into our theories, to characterizing cultural change over the span of centuries, computational methods appear to provide sociology a means to reveal patterns otherwise unknowable. While these methods are persistently critiqued for their inability to generate social theory,...

Estimating Network Metrics via Random Walk Sampling

Description:

In this thesis we present methods for estimating network metrics via random walk sampling. More specifically, we generalize the Hansen-Hurwitz estimator and the Horvitz-Thompson estimator to estimate the shortest path length distribution (SPLD), closeness centrality ranking, and clustering coefficients of a network. Those are important metrics to a network, but...
