Sociometry is concerned with networks of relationship among groups of people. If the group is very large, the work of tracing all the relationships becomes tedious, and the task of describing the resulting net precisely becomes impossible. Here the problem of such large sociometric nets is approached with probabilistic and statistical methods.
