Glossary

Social preference :

is defined differently according to discipline but can generally be defined as individual biases in interaction or contact with others (direct), or favoritism towards individuals, typically because of specific attributes (e.g., sex, social status, ethnicity) or context (e.g., unequal distribution of goods), and regardless of interaction (indirect).

An affiliation network :

is a two-mode bipartite network. It contains two different types of nodes, one for actors and one for events, and edges between actors and the events in which actors participate. Examples of affiliation networks, include communication networks such as email among people, epidemiological networks that describing people and diseases with which they are infected, and citation networks containing authors and publications. In time-varying affiliation networks, an actor’s participation in a particular event is...
