We are especially delighted that the commentators agree on the relevance of analyzing the dynamics of manifest and latent meanings in big data using different textmining tools in general and for map analysis in particular. According to our reading, the commentators focused on quality criteria, namely, two different but highly relevant aspects of transparency in research processes. Laura K. Nelson (this volume, pp. 139–143) focused on transparency in the context of research foci and analytical steps in a text-analysis project to ensure the reproducibility of results, whereas Burt L. Monroe (this volume, pp. 132–139) focused on transparency regarding data inspection and thus the credibility of results. We structured our rejoinder as follows: First, we draw on selected aspects Nelson and Monroe posed that we believe they consider to be most important to reflect on transparency in the context of big data and text-mining tools. Second, because quality criteria such as transparency do not exist in isolation, we complement the discussion on quality by adding general issues regarding overarching textmining methodology. Finally, we conclude by providing a prospect for further establishment of big data analysis in the social sciences.","PeriodicalId":48140,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Methodology","volume":"49 1","pages":"144 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0081175019867855","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41966589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dual nature of networks creates a challenge - if the observed network ties are a single random draw, is it realistic to expect that diffusion only follows the observed network ties? This study takes a first step towards integrating these two perspectives by introducing a social space diffusion model. In the model, network ties indicate positions in social space, and diffusion occurs proportionally to distance in social space. Practically, the simulation occurs in two parts. First, positions are estimated using a statistical model (in this example, a latent space model). Then, second, the predicted probabilities of a tie from that model - representing the distances in social space - or a series of networks drawn from those probabilities - representing routine churn in the network - are used as weights in a weighted averaging framework. Using longitudinal data from high school friendship networks, I explore the properties of the model. I show that the model produces smoothed diffusion results, which predict attitudes in future waves 10% better than a diffusion model using the observed network, and up to 5% better than diffusion models using alternative, non-model-based smoothing approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":48140,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Methodology","volume":"49 1","pages":"258-294"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0081175018820075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25583523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
