Samenvatting	Bayesian Social Network Analysis applies Bayesian probabilistic inference to relational data, placing prior distributions over network parameters and updating them with observed tie data to yield full posterior distributions over structural features, tie probabilities, and latent actor positions. It enables principled uncertainty quantification in network models, making it especially valuable when data are sparse, partially observed, or subject to measurement error.	Network diffusion analysis models how information, diseases, behaviors, or innovations spread across a graph of nodes and edges. Drawing on classical epidemic theory (SI, SIR, SIS) and modern network science, it tracks which nodes become infected, how quickly, and whether the spread reaches a global cascade or dies out locally.
