תקציר	The network autocorrelation model adapts spatial-econometric regression to social networks to estimate peer influence: it explains an actor's outcome — an attitude, behavior, or performance — as a function of their own covariates plus a weighted average of their network partners' outcomes. The autocorrelation parameter ρ captures the strength of social influence, and the network weight matrix W encodes who influences whom and how strongly.	Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a structural method that maps and measures relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, or other entities modeled as nodes connected by ties (edges). Rather than focusing on individual attributes, SNA reveals how the pattern of connections shapes behavior, influence, information flow, and outcomes within a system.
