The boundaries of personal networks often shift, because their components are constantly changing. While conventional network generators and proxies rely heavily on relationship- and acquaintanceship-based perspectives, a bottom-up approach can capture network structures and dynamics contact by contact, thus revealing the underlying nature of ties (edges) among actors (nodes). By comparing and contrasting lesser-known contact […]

We refer to the method as perceptual tomography, it aggregates multiple 3rd-party data on the perceived presence or absence of individual properties and pairwise relationships. Key features of the method include: its […]
