1 Exploring Network Effects and Tobacco Use with IENA David R. chaefer chool of Human Evolution & ocial Change Arizona tate University upported by the National Institutes of Health (R21-HD060927, R21HD071885)
2 Overview Why model networks? The IENA approach Application of IENA to adolescent smoking IENA as an agent-based model April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 2
3 efferson High (Add Health, 1995) 30-day smoking None 1-11 days 12+ days 3
4 tatistical Network Models Recognize that actors are interdependent Reciprocity, homophily, transitivity, degree differentials (e.g., Matthew effect), local hierarchies Goal is to identify main network features through parameter estimates (and quantify uncertainty surrounding estimates) Helpful to think of dyad as the unit of analysis and some dyad quality (e.g., presence/absence of a tie) as the outcome April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 4
5 Modeling Approaches Relational Event Model equences of dyadic events (e.g., s, exchange) Exponential-family Random Graph Model (ERGM) Predict cross-sectional ties based on local structure tochastic Actor-Based Model (ABM, IENA ) Predict change in ties over time over time Ties assumed to be states that can persist Actor-driven model (not tie-based, as in ERGM) Natural extension to include behavior change April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 5
6 Modeling Behavior Change Recognition that networks and behavior are interdependent Behavior shapes network structure Network processes shape behavior Complicates attempts to answer important theoretical questions (e.g., peer influence) Examples April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 6

9 Inferring Network Behavior Requires controlling for selection on: 1. Behavior 2. Correlates of the behavior (e.g., attributes, shared context) 3. Network processes (e.g., triad closure) Can amplify network-behavior patterns April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 9
10 IENA Approach Endogenous Network Effects ocial Influence on Behavior Network Individual/ Contextual Attributes Behavior Network election based on Behavior April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 10
11 Model Components Actors control their outgoing ties and behavior Functions specify when/how they change Decision Timing Decision Rules Network Evolution Network rate function* Network objective function Behavior Evolution Behavior rate function* Behavior objective function * Waiting time is usually distributed uniformly across actors, but can specify differences based on actor attributes April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 11
12 ABM pecification Objective functions operationalize decision rules The network function models tie change based on: Behavior/attributes of self & others (ego & alters) Dyadic attributes (similarity, context) Network processes (e.g., triad closure) The behavior function models change based upon: Individual attributes Friends behavior Network position (e.g., popularity) April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 12
13 Decision Process Data from discrete time points Assume ties and behavior change on a continuoustime scale (between observation waves) through series of micro steps ( smallest possible change ) Network: change in one tie (add or drop) Behavior: step up or down on behavior score Choice probabilities take the form of a multinomial logit model instantiated by the objective function Actors evaluate all possible changes Option with highest evaluation most likely (small amount of error added to each evaluation) April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 13
14 Micro tep Example: election on moking Given the chance to change a tie, what does A do? A moke=1?? B moke=1 C moke=0 Evaluate the contribution to the network function of each tie choice (-.5 * moke ego ) + (-.25 * moke alter ) + (2.25 * moke similarity ) A B (-.5 * 1) + (-.25 * 1) + (2.25 * [1 -.6]) =.15 A C (-.5 * 1) + (-.25 * 0) + (2.25 * [0 -.6]) = April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 14
15 Condition on wave 1 ABM Fitting Iterative process to estimate parameters that reproduce observed changes Convergence achieved when model is able to reproduce observed network & behavior at time 2+ (as represented by summary statistics) April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 15
16 IENA Data Requirements At least 2 panels of complete network data Ties measured for all actors w/in bounded setting Little turnover in set of actors Observations of actor behavior at corresponding time points To model change, coded as ordinal measure Controls: settings, anything correlated with network and behavior N = 30 - ~2,000 April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 16
17 Application to Adolescent moking National Longitudinal tudy of Adolescent Health (Add Health) In-home surveys conducted (2 waves) tudents nominated up to 5 male and 5 female friends (directed network) Friendships coded as present (1) or absent (0) for each dyad April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 17

21 Asymmetric Peer Influence Implicit assumption that parameters equal for: Tie formation vs. maintenance Behavior increase vs. decrease Unrealistic for smoking Physical/psychological dependence, social learning Easy to relax this assumption eparate behavior objective function into: Creation function: only considers increasing behavior Maintenance function: only considers decreasing behavior Could make similar distinction in network function April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 21

23 IENA as an ABM Useful to evaluate goodness-of-fit, decompose network-behavior associations, evaluate interventions Uses the same algorithm as model fitting 1. Fit model to empirical data 2. imulate network evolution using estimated parameters or manipulations of them Can also manipulate initial conditions (e.g., network structure, behavior distribution, etc.) 3. Measure network/behavior properties of interest April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 23

27 Evaluating Interventions How do smoking/friendship dynamics affect smoking prevalence? Manipulate parameters related to key intervention levers Peer influence (absent strong) moker popularity (unpopular absent popular) Remaining parameters from fitted model Initial conditions = observed wave 1 data April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 27

30 Context Effects How do these effects depend upon context? Randomly manipulate initial smoking prevalence 25% initial smokers up to 75% Randomly distribute smokers and nonsmokers across the network imilar results with empirical and model-based manipulations April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 30
31 Results of Manipulating Initial Prevalence 75% Initial mokers 25% Initial mokers April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 31

33 Advantages of IENA ABM Can model very complex selection behavior Changes to network and behavior are both endogenous Parameters derived from real world April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 33
34 Disadvantages of IENA ABM Markov assumption: changes dependent only upon current state of network/behavior Ignores dependence on past events No coordinated or simultaneous change Limited actor behavior: change ties and/or behaviors Assumes ties are states (e.g., friendship, trust); no events (e.g., exchange, communication) April 17, 2014 Institute of Medicine 34
