The second seminar on network analysis was held at the Laboratory on March, 18, 2011. The methods of data mining for network analysis, single-mode and bipartite networks, the ways of representation of these networks in a table were taught during this class. Also some other concepts were explained. Degree centrality and ego-network were among them.

The participants started to explore “Pajek” that is one of the most popular programs on network analysis and application to it “Excel-to-Pajek”. This program is often used to visualize large volumes of data. During the second class the participants managed to create a network based on the data collected for one of the projects of SESL.

That first network built by those who attended the seminar represented ties of ethnic groups in a popular Russian social network “Vkontakte”. New participants are always welcomed! There are 15 of us already!
