What is the Statistical Methods in Network Structure course about?

Traditional graph analysis methods break down when dimensions grow, leading to false positives, missed structure, and unreliable inference. Without a principled statistical foundation, researchers and engineers risk drawing incorrect conclusions from network data, especially when signal is subtle or geometry is hidden.
