Network Analysis using R

Iowa Social Science Research Center Dec 2020
This workshop covers a comprehensive introduction to analyzing network data. Participants will be introduced to techniques of network analysis such as calculating network statistics (e.g. centralities, dyad and triad census) and exponential random graph models (ERGMs).

Network Visualization using R

Iowa Social Science Research Center Nov 2020
This workshop provides a series of examples from raw data to graph visualization in the igraph and Statnet frameworks.

Data Management using R

All Networks Multiple Rivals Survey Experiment Climate Change

Climate Bones of Contention

Do precipitation and temperature deviation and volatility affect interstate conflict?

Triangles in Networks

In this project, I examine whether and how various triangular relationships affect interstate relationships particularly rivalry duration. Network analysis is employed to capture the various triangles.
