Σύνοψη	The Weighted Exponential Random Graph Model (W-ERGM) extends the classic binary ERGM framework to networks whose edges carry quantitative values — such as frequency of contact, trade volume, or collaboration intensity. It models the entire valued-edge network as a probability distribution defined over all possible weighted graphs, enabling researchers to test whether structural patterns such as reciprocity, transitivity, or degree distribution arise beyond what chance alone would produce.	Weighted Social Network Analysis extends classical SNA by assigning numeric values — weights — to ties between actors, capturing tie strength, interaction frequency, or resource flow. Rather than treating all connections as equal, it reveals who holds privileged positions by virtue of the intensity, not merely the existence, of their relationships.
