Inference from incomplete social network data
by Smith, James T., Iii, M.A., GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, 2010, 81 pages; 1475348

Abstract:

Social network data is often incomplete and does not lend itself to inferential statistics. There are few methods for dealing with this problem and the incompleteness of social network data is seldom described. In this thesis, I develop a way of describing the incompleteness of social network data and use this method to discuss inference from incomplete social network data.
