It is now almost the end of my stay here in Research Triangle Park, NC at the Opening Workshop on Complex Networks organized by SAMSI. I presented a poster here on some of my work with Joe Blitzstein on estimation under respondent-driven sampling. This was about simulation studies we have done to lay foundations for our development of the new estimation method as outlined in this post. I will prepare a post describing this earlier work once we submit a paper on it, which should be soon. I also had a pleasure to meet other researchers working in the field, in particular Matt Salganik and Erik Volz. It was really enjoyable and inspiring to discuss problems relevant to estimation in RDS.

Apart from enjoying the workshop, I have had a chance to enjoy some Processing and experimented with some ideas about visualizing high dimensional dependent data (that is, when the number of dimensions is larger than 3). (more…)
