HSE Student Analyses Social Network to Find Runaway Brother
It is a fairly common story for families – a runaway teenager leaves a note saying ‘I’m not coming back, and don’t try looking for me’ and turns off their cell phone. In a recent case, however, a sister was able to find her brother by using the knowledge she acquired as a student in HSE’s Applied Mathematics and Information Science programme. Her story shows what social networks can say about its users to someone who knows how to listen.
The Laboratory opens the House
On the 9th of December the Laboratory has held the Open House, which was also devoted to the new Master`s Programme "Applied Statistics with Network Analysis"
How do you spend your weekend?

Our Research Assistant starts studying at PhD program in Northwestern University
ANR-Lab's Research Assistant Igor Zakhlebin starts this year studying Technology and Social Behavior in Northwestern University, Chikago, USA
VI International Summer School «Theory and Methods of Longitudinal Social Network Analysis» (TMSA-2016)
From August 1 to 5, ANR-Lab held the summer school "Theory and Methods of Longitudinal Social Network Analysis" in Moscow. The goal of the school was to teach students already familiar with network analysis with the features of longitudinal network analysis, which include: selection and influence models, two-mode networks, model comparison of SAOMs and ERGMs, and multi-group and meta-analysis.
V International Summer School «Theory and Methods of Exponential Random Graph Modeling» (TMSA-2016)
From July 4 to 8, ANR-Lab held the V International Summer School "Theory and Methods of Exponential Random Graph Modeling". The aim of the school was to teach participants already familiar with network analysis, some features of the ERGM method. The topics discussed contributed to a deeper understanding of the formation of the network and its structure by comparing all possible alternative networks.
IV International Summer School «Theory and Methods of Network Analysis» (TMSA-2015)
On August 10-14, ANR-Lab held the IV International Summer School on Network Analysis, which was devoted to the theory and methods of visualization in network analysis.
III International Summer Scool "Theory and methods of Modeling in Network Analysis"
From June 29 to July 3, ANR-Lab held an International Summer School on the theory and methods of modeling in network analysis.
ANR’s Summer Schools Are a Great Success
Another one of “first” laboratory ventures, summer schools, were a great success. Dubbed TMSA (“Theory and Methods of Social network Analysis”), they became known as TMSA-I and TMSA-II, as after careful consideration, a decision was made to hold not one, but two summer schools. One was dedicated to the introduction to social network analysis (SNA) for those who were not familiar with network methodology but wanted to start using it in their research activities, and another – to more advanced SNA methods for more advanced SNA users. Both schools were united by a common structure: lectures on theory building, methodology of SNA, project work, and hands-on experience with SNA software.
