SIENA activities and workshops

Lectures, workshops, courses:

The LINKS Center for Social Network Analysis at the University of Kentucky offers four synchronous online workshops about social network methods, conducted over Zoom. Each workshop meets for 3 to 5 days for about four hours a day (not including optional extra sessions in some of the workshops). There is also access to a limited number of non-technical one-on-one consultations with experienced research faculty to discuss your individual project(s).
Track 4 is Stochastic Models of Networks (May 27 - May 31, 2024; 10:00am-12:00; 12:45-2:45 ET). This course, taught by Robert Krause, covers ERGMs and SAOMs. While the course is introductory, prior familiarity with both statistics and network analysis is strongly advised. The course costs $1800 ($900 for students).
At the Sunbelt 2024 conference held in Edinburgh (Scotland) in the week of June 24-30, 2024, there will be several workshops about RSiena.
- Viviana Amati and Marion Hoffman: The analysis of longitudinal social network data using RSiena.
- Nynke Niezink: Analyzing the dynamics of networks and continuous behavior with RSiena.
- Christian Steglich: Empirically calibrated simulations with RSiena and ergm.
- Robert Krause: Handling missing data in RSiena.
The following two are a pair of connected 3-hour workshops. Participants are free to choose one or both of them. An overview of what will be treated is here.
- Tom Snijders and Johan Koskinen: Introduction to the analysis of multilevel network dynamics using multiSiena.
- Tom Snijders and Johan Koskinen: Introduction to the analysis of multilevel network dynamics using multiSiena: further topics.

Previous workshops, still with valuable material:

The workshop on multilevel SAOM estimation by the function sienaBayes, Analysing multilevel network dynamics, held online (organized from Naples) in September 2021 as part of the 5th European Conference on Social Networks EUSN 2021 .
The online Advanced Siena Users' Meeting 2021 held in February 2021.
The workshop on Multilevel Network Dynamics held in October 2019 at the EUSN in Zürich (and earlier, September 2018, in Groningen).
The slides of the Advanced Siena users' workshop at Sunbelt 2018 are available here.

User Groups:

There exists a Users' Group for RSiena to exchange information and seek technical advice.
The address is https://groups.io/g/RSiena.

If you are not a member yet, you can log in or sign up at the top of the page of the User Group.

You can view the archives of the RSiena group at groups.io.

You can also post suggestions for changes in RSiena at the package at GitHub.
