Samenvatting	Weighted Network Diffusion Analysis models how information, influence, disease, or resources spread through a network whose edges carry quantitative strength values. By letting tie weights govern transition probabilities, the method produces more realistic spreading dynamics than binary-edge diffusion, revealing which high-traffic pathways dominate propagation in social, biological, and information networks.	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.
