Update: Test network hypotheses with nonparametric inference Network measures are inherently dependent and often distributionally biased.
For this reason, standard statistical tests that assume independence and normality are not directly applicable to network data. ☞ [SNA & Statistics] Why Standard Statistics Fail on Network Data
Following our previous update, which expanded statistical testing for variables and network data—including correlation, regression, and analysis of variance—this release further extends nonparametric tests designed specifically for relational data.
Test network hypotheses directly in NetMiner.
- How do node attributes relate to network structure? (Correlation)
- What factors are associated with tie formation? (MRQAP, Regression)
-
Do network measures differ across groups? (ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Mann–Whitney Test)
-
Do network measures change relative to baselines or prior states? (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank)
- Do attributes cluster along ties, or do similar nodes connect? (Autocorrelation, Assortativity)
Go beyond calculation.
Verify whether your network results are statistically meaningful.

NetMiner 5 is available for both Windows and macOS.
To stay up to date, simply turn on Auto Update in Preferences. |
Statistical Tests for Networks
Rank based nonparametric tests have been added (Mann–Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis, Wilcoxon signed rank test). You can now assess group differences and changes without relying on distributional assumptions. |
Network Visualization Layouts
The Fruchterman–Reingold force directed layout is now available, enabling intuitive visualization of network structure. Layouts can also be generated based on user selected group attributes, making community patterns easier to identify.

Network Construction from Word–Document Matrices
Sliding window based word networks, previously limited to raw text, are now supported directly from word–document matrices. Build word networks straight from tokenized word–document data.
