New Domains for Structural Analysis
Can network thinking be extended to the broad range of social organization conventionally studies by sociologists? Applying structural thinking to American election data, it is possible to detect a social-economic hierarchy solely from the links among categories, without reference to external numerical indicators of rank. It is possible to detect and verify sensible and suggestive relative social positions for categories of income, education, gen…
Extended Correlation
What is the correlation between two variables? Traditional answers offer summary assessments such as Pearson's r and regression coefficients. But new computing techniques make it possible to construct conceptually simple hypotheses that describe the full joint distribution of two variables, making it possible to 'mine' the correlation for information that was previously unused. This article begins with evidence of systematic anomalies in the empi…
Data without (operational) variables
Application of this framework to text, including editorials and free answers to questionnaires as well as application to (social) survey data, supports their its for these purposes and the cartographic methods suggest that micro theories embedded in these methods reduce the load of a priori assumptions “normally” required for both text analysis and survey analysis. The applications suggest a research path applicable to “ordinary” sociological var…
But What Have You Done for Us Lately
Cet article porte un regard critique sur la contribution de Abbott et Tsay contenue dans le present numero. Selon l'A., si la methode de l'assortiment optimal en analyse sequentielle fait desormais l'objet d'un interet croissant en sociologie, les travaux qui en assurent la promotion comme ceux de Abbott et Tsay, devraient appeler a encore plus d'exigence en termes de validite de la methode. Les succes enregistres par celle-ci ne peuvent pas etre…
Causality in Crisis? Statistical Methods and the Search for Casual Knowledge in the Social Sciences
Exceptions Are the Rule
The Methodology of the Atlas Of Corporate Interlocks
The interlocks between boards of directors of some 400 of the world's largest corporations are studied with methods of network analysis and, in particular, with the original methods of centroid scaling and frequency reconstruction scaling. The former furnishes stable global maps of these interlocks and discerns five groups of corporations: the French group; the Swiss group; the German group; the Dutch group; the British-Canadian-American-South-Af…

The Sphere of Influence
The Sphere of Influence
This is a study of network representation: The data represent a set of interlocked directorates—specifically, the network in which the boards of major banks are interlocked with the boards of major industrials. The problem is to represent this network so as to organize it and describe its major outlines. Using an unfolding variant of smallest space analysis, the problem is solved by a spherical map: the “Sphere of Influence.” The sectors of the s…
