Description:

I am just trying to see if there are someone here on the site with experience on ERGM, or exponential random graph modeling. As I understand it, it is also referred to as p* models.

What I want is for you to help me get started with implementing such analysis. More specifically, what I need is just a few hours of tutorial to help me do the following:

1. Show me the data structure required for such analysis; i.e. what the data should look like before being fed into the statistical package.

2. Show me the codes necessary to estimate the ERGM that I have in mind, in a software package of your choice. Open source software such as StocNet is preferred, but we can discuss that.

3. Show me how to interpret the results given by the package.

4. Once I ran the model on my own dataset, help me check if something is obviously wrong.

If you prefer to be paid by the hour, I can do that too; but you need to give me sufficient credentials that you indeed know about ERGM and how to use related software.

Thank you! I look forward to hearing from you.
