Nevertheless the unobserved, asymmetric network is often of primary scientific interest. We propose a method that probabilistically reconstructs the unobserved, asymmetric network from the observed, symmetric graph using a regression-based framework that allows for inference on predictors of actors' decisions. We apply this model to the bilateral investment treaty network. Our approach extracts politically relevant information about the network structure that is inaccessible to alternative approaches and has superior predictive performance.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1711.03838v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.03838v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"modeling-asymmetric-relationships-from","repo_url":"https://github.com/s7minhas/pgbmeRepl","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
