• How is the network different from a random network?• What features of the network are unexpected?

Classifying links
The out-degree is the number of people the student named:
A1 has out-degree 3
The in-degree is the number of people who named the student:
A1 has in-degree 2

Mutual links
Two students who both name each other form a mutual link

Using the data table on the previous slide
4. Find the Mutual Degree
1. Find the Out-degrees
2. Find the In-degrees
3. In the table, circle Mutual Links
How variable is the dataset?Are these patterns random?

Degree distribution
We can plot the degree distribution as a bar chart
In-degree Mutual degree
Some variation is natural; can use statistical tools to tell us how unexpected the observed distributions are.

• 8 people fill in the survey; each names 2 contacts.
• The probability that Alicia’s first contact (Julia) also names Alicia equals 2/7. Why?
• Total number of mutual links expected is therefore
8 x 2 x 2/7 ≈ 4.6

If people choose their contacts at random, how many mutual links would we see?

If people choose their contacts at random, how many mutual links would we see?
Actually this is double the number of links, since
each link has two ends. It’s the number of entries ringed in red in the data
table.

• N people fill in the survey; each name k contacts.
• The probability that person A’s first contact names person A equals k / (N - 1).
• Total number of mutual links expected is therefore:

With 8 people, we expect 4.6 mutual contacts:

We expect 4.6 mutual contacts, but in fact find 10.

Many more mutual links than a random network.
This is what we would expect if connections represent interactions such as friendships.

• Split into groups of 8-12.• Each choose two other members of the group.• Write everyone’s choices in a data table.• Make the network:
– write each person’s name on a piece of paper– place person with the most connections in the
centre– starting with the second most “popular” arrange
the other names around the centre– work through the table and make connections– move people around to make the network clearer– draw final network onto paper

• Tabulate the in-degree and out-degree for each person.• Find the actual number of mutual links.• Calculate the predicted number of mutual links, using the
formula:
• Do you think the choices you made were random or not?

Example of network data
Primary school network, pupils aged 10-11.
![Page 16: Work and play: Disease spread, social behaviour and data collection in schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814043550346895dabb06b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What can you tell from this network?

It is likely that:•green and red distinguish between boys and girls•someone was absent

Cliques where everyone names everyone else
![Page 19: Work and play: Disease spread, social behaviour and data collection in schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814043550346895dabb06b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why is this near-clique unusual?
