Abstract

In a previous paper, Kovacs (2010) proposed a generalized relational similarity measure based on iterated correlations of entities in a network calibrated by their relational similarity to other entities. Here I show that, in the case of two-mode network data, Kovacs’s approach can be simplified and generalized similarities calculated non-iteratively. The basic idea is to rely on initial similarities calculated from transforming the two-mode data into one-mode projections using the familiar duality approach due to Breiger (1974). I refer to this as two-mode relational similarities and show, using the Southern Women’s data and data from Senate voting in the 112th U.S. Congress, that it yields results substantively indistinguishable from Kovacs’s iterative strategy.

双模关系相似性

在之前的一篇论文中，Kovacs（2010）提出了一种基于网络中实体的迭代相关性的广义关系相似性度量，该相关性通过实体与其他实体的关系相似性来校准。在这里，我表明，在双模网络数据的情况下，Kovacs的方法可以被简化，并且可以非迭代地计算广义相似性。其基本思想是依赖于使用Breiger（1974）提出的熟悉的对偶方法将双模数据转换为单模投影所计算的初始相似性。我将其称为两种模式的关系相似性，并使用南方妇女的数据和第112届美国国会参议院投票的数据表明，它产生的结果与科瓦奇的迭代策略基本上没有区别。

期刊介绍： Social Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.
