Samenvatting	Weighted modularity analysis extends the classical Newman-Girvan modularity measure to networks where edges carry numeric strengths (frequencies, intensities, costs). By replacing binary adjacency with tie weights, it finds community partitions that reflect how densely interconnected subgroups are relative to what is expected under a weighted null model, yielding more nuanced groupings than unweighted approaches on data where edge strength varies meaningfully.	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.
