Patrick Doreian is an American mathematician and social scientist, whose specialty is network analysis. His specific research interests include blockmodeling, social structure and .[1]

Doreian, Professor Emeritus from the University of Pittsburgh in Sociology and Statistics, was during his research career focused on social network research, especially regarding temporal networks, , , signed networks, and the US Supreme Court. He was also an (co)editor of (1982–2005) and Social Networks (2006–2015).[2]

He was also a at the London School of Economics (2002) and a visiting professor at the University of California-Irvine and the University of Ljubljana.[3]

Work[]

With Thomas J. Fararo in 1984, he introduced .[4]

With in 1989, he proposed a main path analysis, a mathematical tool,[5] to identify the major paths in a citation network, which is one form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG).

In 1994, with Vladimir Batagelj and Anuška Ferligoj, he introduced the generalized blockmodeling.[6]
