Inferring Networks from Non-Network Data

I.e., when the network is itself a latent object, whose shape is to be worked out from the traces it leaves in something more directly accessible. Observing the network itself, but incompletely, I will somewhat arbitrarily regard as part of ordinary network data analysis.
