Fitting pre-specified blockmodels
The goal of conventional blockmodeling is to reduce a large, potentially incoherent network to a smaller comprehensible structure that can be interpreted more readily. Blockmodeling, as an empirical procedure, is based on the idea that units in a network can be grouped according to the extent to which they are equivalent, under some meaningful definition of equivalence. There are many inductive approaches for establishing blockmodels for a set of social relations defined over a set of social actors. Some form of equivalence is specified and clusterings are sought that are constsistent with the specified equivalence. In all cases, the analyses respond to empirical information in order to establish the blockmodel. Another view of blockmodeling is deductive in the sense of starting with a blockmodel that is specified in terms of substance prior to an analysis. We present methods where a set of observed relations are fitted to a pre-specified blockmodel. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0884.00046].
