GRHEM first steps (tutorial)

A generalized hyperevent is a time-stamped hyperedge that decomposes into any number of sub-hyperedges, comprising the nodes that occupy a certain event position. An example is given by the publication event of a scientific paper that binds several types of nodes in various positions: the authors of the paper, the cited references, its keywords, the journal in which it is published. Possibly we may also have information on the editor managing the reviewing process. It is plausible that some or all of these positions interact. For example, the references are selected by the authors, but are also likely to be dependent on the keywords, or possible on the journal or the editor.

Generalized relational hyperevent models (GRHEM) provide a model family for such generalized hyperevents that can test and control for interactions among any number of event positions. This tutorial attempts to give a first intro to GRHEM. Functionality for GRHEMs is available starting from eventnet two that is, version 2.0 or later (currently available as a pre-release eventnet-2.0-pre-2.jar).
