Hi Everyone,
I am calculating each ego's composition of networks by Ego Networks | Egonet Composition | Categorical Attributes. I have work and idea-sharing relationships between actors from a whole network. The procedure runs fine and I have generated IQV and Blau's index. However, I wanted to know the diversity of roles within one group such as ego belongs to finance staff, what is the composition (heterogeneity/Blau's index) of the finance people within his egonet (within diversity), and what is the composition of others (between ego's group and other roles - between diversity) (e.g., marketers, sales, etc.)
?
It seems like, from the output,? I can not tell which category ego has without looking up the actor's attribute (which group s/he belongs to) (without opening up my attribute file). This would improve the output, I think.
Blau's index for within groups will be, I think, using the proportion of his groups' ties only.
For between groups, other proportions can be used to calculate in excel, I reckon. I am unsure.
Is there a way of doing these in UCINET? If not, would UCINET team be able to incorporate these into UCINET and provide these in the output as separate columns: ego's category, within heterogeneity and between heterogeneity, perhaps IQV would be appreciated as well?
I went through the forum's chats but I couldn't come across a solution. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated. Thanks!
