Site Selection

Examples of Site Selection in the following topics:

• Applied and Clinical Sociology

  • Another budding area in modern retail firms is site selection, or the determination of the best locations for new stores.
  • Site selection requires understanding human ecology and consumer spending patterns, both of which are addressed using the sociological imagination.

• Bachelor's Degree Occupations

  • Another budding area in modern retail firms is site selection, or the determination of the best locations for new stores.

• Mate Selection

  • There is wide cross-cultural variation in the social rules governing the selection of a partner for marriage.
  • There is wide cross-cultural variation in the social rules that govern the selection of marriage partners.
  • In some of these societies, individuals are only allowed to select partners from the individual's social group.
  • In other societies, on the other hand, partners can be selected from a different social group than one's own.
  • In cultures with fewer rules governing mate selection, the process of finding a partner might include courtship.

• Introduction to relations

  • The other half of the design of network data has to do with what ties or relations are to be measured for the selected nodes.
  • In many network studies, all of the ties of a given type among all of the selected nodes are studied -- that is, a census is conducted.
  • When we collect network data, we are usually selecting, or sampling, from among a set of kinds of relations that we might have measured.

• Visualizing multiplex relations

  • If the data have been stored as multiple matrices within the same file, when that file is opened (Netdraw>File>Open>UCINET dataset>Network) a Ties dialog box will allow you to select which matrix to view (as well as to set cut-off values for visualizing valued data).
  • An even more useful tool is found in Netdraw>Properties>Lines>Multi-relation selection.
  • The Relations dialog box allows you to select which relations you would like to view, and whether to view the union ("or") or intersection ("and") of the ties.

• Introduction to nodes

  • John has been selected to be in our sample.
  • The classroom itself, though, might have been selected by probability methods from a population of classrooms (say all of those in a school).
  • The use of whole populations as a way of selecting observations in (many) network studies makes it important for the analyst to be clear about the boundaries of each population to be studied, and how individual units of observation are to be selected within that population.

• Defining the Sample and Collecting Data

  • In statistics and survey methodology, sampling is concerned with the selection of a subset of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population .
  • A probability sampling is one in which every unit in the population has a chance (greater than zero) of being selected in the sample, and this probability can be accurately determined.
  • Nonprobability sampling is any sampling method where some elements of the population have no chance of selection or where the probability of selection can't be accurately determined.
  • Sampling errors and biases, such as selection bias and random sampling error, are induced by the sample design.

• Online Communities

  • In 2001, consultants at McKinsey & Company did a study where they found that only 2% of transaction site customers returned after their first purchase.
  • In contrast, 60% of new online communities users began using and visiting the sites regularly after their first experiences.

  • In contrast, 60% of new online communities users began using and visiting the sites regularly after their first experiences.
  • While payment is necessary to participate in some online communities, such as certain dating websites or for monthly game subscriptions, many other sites are free to users such as social networks Facebook and Twitter.

• Relation properties

  • Then select Relations, and choose the color for each of the relations you want to graph (e.g. red for same-sex, blue for different-sex).
  • First select Properties>Lines>Node-attribute from the menus.
  • Then use the drop-down menu to select the attribute that you want to graph.
  • From the menus, select Properties>Lines>Size.
  • Then, select Tie-Strength and indicate which relation you want graphed.

• Sociobiology

  • Sociobiologists believe that human behavior, like nonhuman animal behavior, can be partly explained as the outcome of natural selection.
  • Natural selection is fundamental to evolutionary theory.
  • Following this evolutionary logic, sociobiologists are interested in how behavior can be explained as a result of selective pressures in the history of a species.
  • Discuss the concept of sociobiology in relation to natural selection and Charles Darwin, as well as genetics and instinctive behaviors
