getkendall: Kendall's Linearity Index

In DLEIVA/DyaDA: Dyadic Data Analysis

Description

Function to obtain Kendall's linearity index for measuring linear hierarchies.

Usage

   getkendall(X)

Arguments

X	Original sociomatrix.

Details

getkendall computes Kendall's linearity index as follows:

K = {1 - {d \over maxd}},

where d is the number of circular triads in the original sociomatrix and maxd is the maximum number of circular triads.

Value

K	Kendall's linearity index.
