We propose two complementary ways to deal with a nesting structure in the node set of a network-such a structure may be called a multilevel network, with a node set consisting of several groups. First, within-group ties are distinguished from between-group ties by considering them as two distinct but interrelated networks. Second, effects of nodal variables are differentiated according to the levels of the nesting structure, to prevent ecological fallacies. This is elaborated in a study of two repeated observations of a sociability network in seven villages in Senegal, analyzed using the Stochastic Actor-oriented Model.

具有嵌套节点集的网络动态：塞内加尔七个村庄的社交能力

我们提出了两种互补的方法来处理网络节点集中的嵌套结构——这种结构可以称为多级网络，节点集由几个组组成。首先，组内关系与组间关系的区别在于将它们视为两个不同但相互关联的网络。其次，节点变量的影响根据嵌套结构的级别进行区分，以防止生态谬误。在对塞内加尔七个村庄的社交网络的两次重复观察的研究中详细说明了这一点，并使用面向随机演员的模型进行了分析。
