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 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.
Tutorial 09
Diagnose how nonresponse, fixed-choice nominations, and boundary decisions alter a network, then report which structural conclusions remain stable across plausible alternatives.
Tutorial 13
Build a personal network around a focal actor, document the name generator and alter boundary, and interpret composition without pretending to observe the whole system.
Tutorial 15
Compare observed within-group and between-group ties with available opportunities instead of equating raw same-group counts with preference.
Tutorial 20
Keep eligible zero-tie actors in the denominator and distinguish observed isolation from missing participation before fitting a core-periphery pattern.
