Geodesic distances and average Distance between nodes
#help
|
Hello,
I¡¯m a student and I was wondering how UCINET calculates the average Distance between Nodes. More specifically I¡¯m curious as to how it handles nodes without a path between them. According to the documentation it has something to do with Geodesic Distance Matrices, but I couldn¡¯t get any further on my own. So: How does UNICERT calculate average distance in a dataset containing multiple separate networks? and What is a Geodesic Distance Matrice? are the Questions I¡¯m left with. Thank you for your help. Kind regards, Bastien Chevallier |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou can calculate geodesic distance by running Network|Dyads|Geodesic distance. For datasets containing multiple networks, ucinet computes a separate geodesic distance matrix (and/or average) for each network. ? As for what a geodesic distance matrix is, it is a matrix that records, for every pair of nodes, the length of the shortest path from one to the other (if there is one). ? You might look at chapter 2 of the book ¡°analyzing social networks¡±. ? Steve. ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>
