The California Exodus, where droves of population are leaving California and settling in other U.S. states, has recently received broad media coverage, but less attention in scientific research. In a recent paper published in Journal of Mathematical Sociology, NCASD researchers Peng Huang and Carter Butts analyze the population redistribution pattern in the United States. They […]

The exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs) have emerged as an important framework for modeling a wide variety of relational types. ERGMs for valued networks are less well-developed than their unvalued counterparts, and pose particular computational challenges. Network data with edge values on the non-negative integers (count-valued networks) is an important such case, with examples ranging
