Secondary actors

Description

Identify secondary actors within a group. A secondary actor is an individual with a neighborhood that is perfectly nested within the neighborhood of another individual. Here it is identified by comparing memberships between all agents within a group. If any individual has the exact same memberships as another individual he is considered a secondary actor. See Faust, Katherine. “Centrality in Affiliation Networks.” Social Networks 19, no. 2 (1997): 157–191. for considerations on the exclusion of secondary actors. Consider betweenness decomposition as it is a more general solution to the same problem, see betweenness.decomposition
