Zusammenfassung	Bayesian ego network analysis applies probabilistic inference to ego-centered (personal) network data, combining a likelihood model for the ego's local network with prior distributions over network parameters. The result is a full posterior distribution that quantifies uncertainty about structural features such as alter composition, tie density, and network size — rather than producing point estimates alone.	Ego network analysis examines the personal network of a focal individual — the ego — by mapping their direct contacts (alters) and the ties those contacts share with one another. Formalised through Ronald Burt's structural holes framework (1992) and Marsden's egocentric measurement approach (2002), the method produces ego-level indicators such as network size, density, constraint, and brokerage role that reveal how each individual's social position shapes their access to information, resources, and influence.
