The purpose of this project was to learn about a topic on Data Analytics that was not taught during our 2502 course. We were then asked to research a topic that fell under this category, and I chose to research Social network analysis. After concluding my research, I learned that Social network analysis focuses on network behavior to understand a group’s strengths, weaknesses, and relationships. It can be applied in team-building activities to get a closer look at relationships between groups of people that were hidden before. At first, I thought this was a brand new topic for me, but I quickly learned that a lot of the mapping used in SNA is similar to Cluster Analysis that we have learned this semester. Overall, it was interesting to see a broad topic like Clustering build into something like Social network analysis.
