Summary

I can’t believe we’ve made it to this point. At the beginning of this book, this felt like an impossible task, and yet here we are. In order to do the hands-on exercises for this chapter, we’ve used what we learned in the previous chapters. I hope I have shown you how networks can be useful, and how to work with them.

At the beginning of this book, I set out to write a practical hands-on book that would be code-heavy, not math-heavy. There are tons of network analysis books out there that have an emphasis on math but do not show actual implementation very well, or at all. I hope this book has effectively bridged the gap, giving a new skill to coders, and showing social scientists programmatic ways to take their network analysis to new heights. Thank you so much for reading this book!
