This is due to the social cost of maintaining a link.

To analyze evolutionary dynamics for this dataset I applied stochastic actor-based models using RSiena. I found out-degree as playing statistically significant role in this evolution process (i.e., ratio of error and estimation is more than 2). > > > > Is that mean those actors who have higher out-degree centrality values play major role compared to those who have lower out-degree centrality values in the evolution process of my dataset? > > > > Please clear me in this respect? > > > > Regards > > Shahadat > > > > _____________________________________________________________________ SOCNET is a service of INSNA, the professional association for social network researchers (http://www.insna.org).
