Reviewed tutorials build from relational questions and clean network data through descriptive measures, permutation tests, and responsible statistical modeling, then extend the workflow to longitudinal comparison.

Tutorial 01
Translate a relational question into an explicit network design by defining who can be a node, what counts as a tie, and where observation begins and ends.
Tutorial 02
Turn relational records into two equivalent network representations while preserving identifiers, direction, weights, loops, and missing-data meaning.
Tutorial 03
Calculate degree, betweenness, and closeness only after matching each measure to a plausible process of access, brokerage, or reachability.
Tutorial 04
Move from one network picture to a defensible account of reachability, density, reciprocity, structural cohesion, and possible community divisions.
Tutorial 05
Use label permutations to compare aligned relationship matrices while respecting the dependence created when many dyads share the same actors.
Tutorial 06
Build an ERGM that compares the observed network with plausible alternatives while representing density, reciprocity, closure, and actor attributes explicitly.
