A cross-cultural dataset on the structure of social networks: The ENDOW project
Eleanor A. Power, Daniel Redhead, Tom Rutter +56
We present multilayer social network data from 50 communities, located in 29 countries around the world, gathered as part of the "ENDOW" project. The communities show exceptional d…
Multilevel modelling of double-sampled clustered social networks with individual-level data on between-cluster ties
Fiona Steele, Justin Weltz, Eleanor A. Power +1
We consider the analysis of dyadic network data on ties between individuals in different clusters where the presence of a directed tie is reported by each individual in a dyad and…

Justin Weltz, Angela Yoon, Yichi Zhang +2
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is widely used to study hidden or hard-to-reach populations by incentivizing study participants to recruit their social connections. The success an…
Experimental Designs for Heteroskedastic Variance
Justin Weltz, Tanner Fiez, Alexander Volfovsky +4
Most linear experimental design problems assume homogeneous variance although heteroskedastic noise is present in many realistic settings. Let a learner have access to a finite set…
