Analyzing Complex Data Structures: Network, Spatial, Multilevel, and Text Data

Catalog description

Not only the world but also data about the world is becoming increasingly complex. Examples of complex data structures include network data that represent connections among individuals (e.g., friends on social media platforms), spatial data that represents geolocations (e.g., smartphone location data), data collected at multiple levels (e.g., employees in organizations), and text data (e.g., online comments). This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding and set of tools to analyze network, spatial, multilevel, and text data.
