new Multiple cohesion measures
羲堁极郤Dear UCInet group. ? I hope all is going well. I have a query regarding the multiple cohesion measures function as a few new metrics have appeared e.g., ※Small Worldness,§ ※Wiener Index§, Dependency Sum§, ?※Breadth§ etc. ? I have a look in the software help and am currently unable to locate the meaning /rational of these.

Re: Group Centrality
Hi Steve,
Thanks for this, it's been very helpful to me. I was able to follow the procedure you outlined. My question is about my network file. I imported an attribute dataset first which contained ~250 individuals and a leadership score for each. Then used Data > Attribute to Matrix, using a difference metric. I'm only interested in within-team ties but this step obviously computes difference scores for all 250 individuals. I then used the Network > Group Centrality > Measure tool and got the output as expected. My question is, does the presence of scores for "ties" between individuals not in the same teams somehow distort the group centrality results? Thank you, David |

Re: Working with teams data
羲堁极郤Hi All, ? I am a new UCINET user and am having a hard time knowing where to find an answer to a few basic questions. I＊ve tried looking online and in the manual with no luck. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. ? I am working with a dataset of 52 teams of 4-5 people each. I would like to calculate density and centrality scores for each team. I can input the data for each team individually. I can also compute density and centrality scores, but only for one team at a time. I would like to be able to compute these scores for each team all at once, without having to click through the options for each team. I have other questions that are all related to working with a dataset comprised of dozens of matrices, one for each team. Thanks in advance! ? Kind Regards, David ? 〞 ? |

Re: Measures of Homophily
羲堁极郤Are you interested in assessing homophily at the individual level or for the entire network? I＊m guessing the entire network. In that case, I would use qap or ergm. The qap approach basically correlates two matrices (see footnote below): one is the network matrix and the other is the ＆similarity-in-bullying-experience＊ matrix. If the correlation is positive and significant, it means that, on average, pairs of actors with more similar bullying experiences are more likely to be friends than not friends. Of course, the direction of causality is up for grabs. I don＊t know whether bullying is a 1/0 variable or continuous. Let＊s say it is continuous. Then the ＆similarity in bullying＊ is more easily constructed as a ＆difference in bullying＊ matrix. In that case you are looking for a negative correlation: the smaller the difference in experience, the more likely they have a tie. In ucinet, you can create such a matrix via Data|Attribute to Matrix. ? Footnote. In practice, you would probably run a multiple regression qap instead, so you could control for other stuff. ? steve ? From: ucinet@...

I have encountered a problem and I can't seem to find the solution anywhere. I hope you experts can help me. ? So, I have a csv?file with dyads, years, and values. Like this: ? Person1?????????????

James??? 2014????? ...................
Where Val2 and Val2 will vary across years.?What I want to do is to import this dataset to Ucinet but keep all the dyads-year instances (what I will later do is to run QAP regression analyses with year fixed effects), so that the ensuing matrices (for each variable) will contain every observation. What I have tried with so far is to import the dataset via the DL editor and set the data format to "edgearray1" and tick "Duplicate ties: Ignore". However, this generates the same output as when I tick?"Duplicate ties: Sum/count up". That is, it makes a dyad appear only once in a matrix and its associated score on any variable is the sum. This is not what I want.
I hope there is someone out there willing to help a not-so-advanced Ucinet user with his problems.?
Best, Niels? ?

Hi everyone.? I'm working through a paper using MRQAP and am running into some issues finding published SNA papers that use MRQAP in empirical examples.? There are several papers walking through the nuts and bolts of QAP, but I'm looking for a more applied example.? If you know of any citations I would be grateful if you'd send them along.?
Particularly, I'm looking for guidance to know what to control for the in the analysis.? I have my key predictor, but I'm not completely sure what I should include as controls from a networks perspective.
Thanks in advance for any help. Bryce |
