I have individual-level data on people + their sexual contacts. It is easy to look at age/sex mixing. But from a network perspective,I can also study assortativity in number of reported partners. Anything else that I can check? Thinking of excess degree distribution and age/sex dynamics consistency

I am followed by so many infectious disease modellers that I am now afraid of even using the word SIR, in any context 😅
