Tutorial 07
Compare Network Change Across Repeated Snapshots
Align repeated network observations, distinguish real tie change from boundary and response changes, and compare structure across time without flattening the sequence into one graph.
SNA Academy
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 07
Align repeated network observations, distinguish real tie change from boundary and response changes, and compare structure across time without flattening the sequence into one graph.
Tutorial 08
Identify actors positioned between otherwise separated contacts or groups, compare brokerage measures, and interpret opportunity without turning network position into a claim about behavior or value.
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 10
Turn a bounded directed network into three whole-network measures, state each denominator and convention, and interpret connection, mutual exchange, and triadic closure as distinct structural patterns.
Tutorial 11
Turn a documented network specification into a readable figure whose layout, visual encodings, filters, and stability checks can be audited and reproduced.
Tutorial 12
Separate the number of partners from the volume or intensity of interaction, then test whether a weighted conclusion survives defensible transformations.
