摘要	The relational event model (REM), introduced by Carter Butts in 2008, analyzes streams of time-stamped interactions — emails, radio calls, messages, citations — as a continuous-time event-history process. Rather than treating a network as a static set of ties, it models the instantaneous rate at which any sender directs an action at any receiver as a function of the history of past events, letting researchers test how prior interaction shapes future interaction.	A social mobility table is a cross-classification of individuals by their social origin (typically a parent's class or occupation) and their own destination class, forming the empirical foundation of intergenerational mobility research. Analyzing it separates how much people move between classes, distinguishes movement forced by changing class sizes from genuine exchange, and isolates the underlying origin–destination association that measures the openness of a society.
