Network Analysis: Effects of Sampling and Measurement Error on Models and Statistics

Abstract

There is little published research on the impact of network sampling on network structures and structural measures. There is even less research that investigates how network sampling impacts models that link network structure with behaviors and attitudes. We need not only to study how sampling designs for social network studies impact network measures, but also investigate how these sampling designs impact models that include social influence effects. The old studies of measurement error in network analysis (circa 1975) are woefully old. This study, thus, contributes much-needed rarely discussed but important information to a rapidly growing field.
