Abstract


Multilayered networks have been proposed as a joint representation of associations between multiple types of entities or nodes, such as people and organization, where two types of nodes gives rise to three distinct types of ties. The typical roster data collection method may be impractical or infeasible when the node sets are hard to detect or define or because of the cognitive demands on respondents. Multilayered networks allow us to consider a multitude of different sources of data and to sample on different types of nodes and relations. We consider modelling multilayered networks using exponential random graph models and extend a recently developed Bayesian data-augmentation scheme to allow partially missing data.
