Applications: Network Models
Network Models I • Latent factors reflect disease model – Single underlying cause • Requires conditional independence – Symptoms/behaviors (likely) causally-related • Network models provide an alternative
Network Models II • Contemporaneous and directed models are estimated separately • Directed networks are estimated by running k univariate VARs for k variables. • Model imprecision is not taken into account • No model fit • Almost no idiographic work
Integrated Network Model • Utilizes SEM framework – Automatic search procedure via Lagrange multiplier test (modification indices) – Bottom-up, data-driven model construction • Provides – Unconditional correlations (time t) – Directional, time-lagged relationships – Residual correlations (time t+1 )

Expected Force • Centrality measures are poorly equipped for flow characteristics of weighted networks (Borgatti, 2005) – Not designed to quantify spreading power – Underestimate influence of non-hub nodes • Expected Force quantifies the spreading power of each node in a network (Lawyer, 2015, Nature) – Spreading power is determined by the influence of the node and the influence of its neighbors – Provides a normal, continuous metric
