Abstract

Computational social science has emerged as a response to bigger, complex, and newer types of data available. Although a growing body of research has taken advantage of this new approach, there have been few outlets available that pedagogically give researchers a resource to learn these types of methods. The purpose of this book is to provide such a resource for group researchers seeking to exploit methods falling under the domain of computational social science. Methods in the volume include response surface analysis, machine learning, relational event modeling, semantic network analysis, social sequence analysis, and simulation techniques.
