Models and methods for analyzing complex networks and social network structures by Ju. P. Perova, V. P. Grigoriev, D. O. Zhukov

“…The study aimed to investigate contemporary models, methods, and tools used for analyzing complex social network structures, both on the basis of ready-made solutions in the form of services and software, as well as proprietary applications developed using the Python programming language. Such studies make it possible not only to predict the dynamics of social processes (changes in social attitudes), but also to identify trends in socioeconomic development by monitoring users’ opinions on important economic and social issues, both at the level of individual territorial entities (for example, districts, settlements of small towns, etc.) and wider regions.Methods. …”
