Statistical Analysis of Multiple Sociometric Relations
Abstract
Loglinear models are adapted for the analysis of multivariate social networks, a set of sociometric relations among a group of actors. Models that focus on the similarities and differences between the relations and models that concentrate on individual actors are discussed. This approach allows for the partitioning of the actors into blocks or subgroups. Some ideas for combining these models are described, and the various models and computational methods are applied to the analysis of data for a corporate interlock network of the 25 largest organizations in Minneapolis/St. Paul and for a classic network of 18 monks in a cloister. The computational techniques all involve variations on the standard iterative proportional-fitting algorithm used extensively in the analysis of multidimensional contingency tables.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
