CATEGORICAL AUTOCORRELATION: RCT analysis with 4 groups
Dear UCINET group,? ? I am working on a relational contingency table analysis looking at the?associations between four groups.? ? One type of node (Y), split into two groups based on their position in the network (core and periphery) and another two groups based on attribute X and non-X.? These groups are mutually exclusive.? I want to test if the association from Y to X is consistent from the core to the margin of the network or if there are different patterns of?association based on Y's position in the network.? ? I created a NodeAtt file with two columns, the ID and the attribute column, recoding each node as either 1, 2,3,4 (i.e. core, periphery, X, non-X).? ? ? Problem: UCINET automatically turns each category of the variable into 4 separate dummy variables and only considers the first dummy variable in the contingency table.?
How do I get UCINET to consider all the categories for the RCT analysis? And secondly, am I going about this in the right way, in choosing RCT analysis for this type of question??
Thanks for all your help UCINET group! ? Cheers, Mathew |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSo, I have a network called campnet and an attribute dataset called campattr where the third column has 3 categories: ? ? ? ?????????????? 1 2 3 ???????????????G R C ???????????????e o o ???????????????n l m ???????????????d e b ???????????????e?? o ???????????????r???? ???????????????- - - ????1?? HOLLY? 1 1 1 ????2? BRAZEY? 1 1 1 ????3?? CAROL? 1 1 1 ????4???? PAM? 1 1 1 ????5???? PAT? 1 1 1 ????6? JENNIE? 1 1 1 ????7 PAULINE? 1 1 1 ????8???? ANN? 1 1 1 ????9 MICHAEL? 2 1 2 ???10???

When I run the RCT procedure I tell it that the attribute is ¡°campattr col 3¡± and it gives the results below. I gather it¡¯s not working that way for you. I¡¯m guessing that your nodeattr dataset contains two columns of actual data (not one column plus row labels). If so, you should be telling it ¡°nodeattr col 2¡± ? steve ?

Thanks for the reply Steve.? I've managed to do a RTC analysis once - with a NodeAtt file and selecting the relavent column.? My problem seems to be that UCINET wants to convert my multi-category variable into four dummies, even when I import it as two columns and tell it to treat the data as NodeAtt (actor attribute [value]):?
