Exporting Network Members at Different Tie Levels


 

To study network structure I currently use Netdraw to study a network by slowing increasing the tie number to see who drops out, the number of total network ties, and who remains. Is there a way to generate an output file simply listing all the nodes and the tie level they become isolates? Thank you.

Well, this isn¡¯t very elegant, but how about this? Using the std ucinet dataset ¡°zackar¡± as an example, type these commands into the CLI:

?

unpack zackar ???//this just creates a valued dataset called zachc

?

d0 = dichot(zachc gt 0)

d1 = dichot(zachc gt 1)

d2 = dichot(zachc gt 2)

d3 = dichot(zachc gt 3)

d4 = dichot(zachc gt 4)

d5 = dichot(zachc gt 5)

d6 = dichot(zachc gt 6)

d7 = dichot(zachc gt 7)

d = joinmat(d0 d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7)

deg = degree(d)

iso = dichot(deg eq 0)

dsp iso

?

the result will be:

?

The ¡®1¡¯ in row 1 col 6 indicates that person 1 became an isolate when we dichotomized at tie strength > 5

Looked like a good solution but am having problem executing. I get a an error (scratch file not found). Two pics to illustrate. Never tried CLI before.

Good that you included screenshot. You need to remove the period. So you just type

?

unpack zackar ???

?

and hit enter

Whoops. So to try this with other data I tried the Southern Women reduced to 1-mode. Unpacking generates no output. When I looked up the Zacchary Karate Club (zackar) I see that it was composed of both a C and E matrix and unpacking pulls out the C matrix output above. So, obviously I need to convert the Southern Women as my test but am not sure how to proceed. Thanks again.
