Bayesian
Analysis of Cognitive Social Structures with Covariates
Johan Koskinen
Abstract
When studying perception
of interaction in the framework of Cognitive Social Structures (Krackhardt
1987) one is often interested in correlating bias on the part of the perceivers
with exogenous attributes of the perceivers (e.g. Bondonio 1998; Casciaro
1998; Casciaro, Carley and Krackhardt, 1999). In this study we propose
a Bayesian probit model for explaining biases in perception in terms of
known covariates.
Keywords: Binary probit. Bayesian analysis of social networks. Cognitive
social structures.
