Researchers have developed a new framework for analyzing network-linked data, which combines network structures with node-observed covariates and responses. This probabilistic approach explicitly models dependence among neighboring responses and accounts for randomness in network formation. The method uses normalized connection probabilities to weight peer responses and latent positions to capture network cohesion, with a two-step procedure for estimating network structure and fitting the response model. Theoretical guarantees for network recovery and consistency of regression estimators are established, with simulations and a diplomatic network data analysis demonstrating its practical application.
