Exploring Coinvestment Partner Selection Strategies Using Exponential Random Graph Models

Table 1

The statistical analysis models for the whole network.

Model	Method	Advantage	Disadvantage
Modified logit model	Regression analysis	Applied to large datasets	It cannot include complex configurations
Quadratic assignment procedure	Matrix permutation	Applied to large datasets	It cannot include complex configurations
Exponential random graph model (p model)	Monte Carlo simulation	Including complex configurations and dealing with collinearity	Only applied to small datasets
Stochastic actor-oriented model	Simulation	Distinguishing the social influence process and the social choice process	Only applied to small longitudinal datasets
Block modeling	Conjugate gradient method	Exploring the structure of networks	It cannot test the influence of node characteristics
