in Abelson Suite 227

Instructor

Dr. Daryl DeFord

Ph.D. Dartmouth College
Assistant Professor of Data Analytics in the
WSU Department of Mathematics and Statistics

The science of complex networks offers many useful tools for understanding modern data, particularly for problems arising in the social sciences. This workshop is intended to provide a starting point for working with graphs and networks in Python and doesn’t assume any specific programming or modeling background. In particular, we will explore ways to create network models and measure their relevant properties and statistics. The workshop will follow this outline:

Introduction to social network modeling
How do Jupyter notebooks work?
Building and plotting Ego graphs
Loading and processing larger graphs
Centrality comparisons and null models
Dynamics on networks

with the goal of providing lots of examples and opportunities for attendees to experiment with computational examples.
