simmelianties-ergmTerm-3361aef9: Ties in simmelian triads

In ergm: Fit, Simulate and Diagnose Exponential-Family Models for Networks

Ties in simmelian triads

Description

This term adds one statistic to the model equal to the number of ties in the network that are associated with Simmelian triads, as defined by Krackhardt and Handcock (2007). Each Simmelian has six ties in it but, because Simmelians can overlap in terms of nodes (and associated ties), the total number of ties in these Simmelians is less than six times the number of Simmelians. Hence this is a measure of the clustering of Simmelians (given the number of Simmelians).

Usage

# binary: simmelianties

Note

This term can only be used with directed networks.
