Abstract
Chapter 10 illustrated how R tools can be used to simulate networks with specific structures, often based on particular network science models. These modeled networks are useful in that they reveal social structures that may reflect reality, or are interesting for purely theoretical reasons. In any case, these are static networks.
Sometimes, if you want to change a man’s mind, you have to change the mind of the man next to him first. ( Megan Whalen Turner – The King of Attolia)
