Overview

Statistical network analysis is a field of research that is scattered over various application disciplines. In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers working in these different fields to unite scattered research ideas, discuss future directions of network data analysis, and foster collaborations. Moreover, we intend to build bridges between different modelling strategies and application areas. The workshop will cover three main fields of statistical network analysis, which are

Exponential Random Graph Models and Relational Event Models
Latent Space Models and Graphons
Dynamic and Time-Series Models

Organizers

The workshop is jointly organized by Carsten Jentsch (TU Dortmund University), Göran Kauermann (LMU), and Alexander Fuchs-Kreiß (Leipzig University).
