See also his forthcoming paper: Matthias Rau: "Eine Einführung zur Bestimmung der Dichte in egozentrierten Netzwerken unter Berücksichtigung eines alternativen Erhebungsvorschlags". In: Gamper/Reschke/Schönhuth (Ed.), Knoten und Kanten 2.0. Soziale Netzwerkanalyse in Medienforschung und Kulturanthropologie, Bielefeld: transcript 2012 (forthcoming). Abstract "The density is often regarded as an important structural attribute to describe social networks. This contribution presents theoretical considerations on density in context with ego-centred network analysis. In the following, it introduces a commonly used method to measure density in ego-networks and contrasts it with an alternative proposal. The paper concludes with an outlook on future research." He also starts off with Dunbar's number.

In other words: Up to which number of actors and ties are we able to understand network structures fairly well? Thanks Marten ........................................
