Social Network Analysis

Social Network Analysis is a powerful analytical approach that investigates social structures through the lens of networks and graph theory. Coursera's Social Network Analysis catalogue teaches you to examine complex systems by characterizing networked structures in terms of nodes (individual actors or entities) and the ties or edges (relationships or interactions) that connect them. You'll learn to apply various metrics and techniques, including centrality measures, clustering coefficients, and community detection algorithms, to uncover patterns in social media networks, organizational structures, and information flow. Mastering Social Network Analysis empowers you to gain valuable insights into human behavior, organizational dynamics, and information dissemination, making it an essential skill for data scientists, sociologists, and business analysts in today's interconnected world.
