Measures the amount of "nonconformity" in the network: configurations where an ego \(i\) ranks an alter \(j\) over another alter \(k\), but ego \(l\) ranks \(k\) over \(j\) .
# valued: rank.nonconformity(to, par)which controls to whom an ego may conform:
"all" (the default): Nonconformity to all
egos is counted. A lower-than-chance
value of this statistic and/or a negative coefficient implies a
degree of consensus in the network.
"localAND": Nonconformity of \(i\) to ego \(l\) regarding the relative ranking
of \(j\) and \(k\) is only counted if \(i\) ranks \(l\)
over both \(j\) and \(k\) . A lower-than-chance
value of this statistic and/or a negative coefficient implies a
form of hierarchical transitivity in the network. This is the
recommended form of local nonconformity (over "local1"
and "local2" ).
"local1": Nonconformity of \(i\) to ego \(l\) regarding the relative ranking
of \(j\) and \(k\) is only counted if \(i\) ranks \(l\) over \(j\) .
"local2": Nonconformity of \(i\) to ego \(l\) regarding the relative ranking
of \(j\) and \(k\) is only counted if \(i\) ranks \(l\) over \(k\) .
"thresholds": Nonconformity of \(i\) to ego \(l\) regarding the relative ranking
of \(j\) and \(k\) is only counted if \(i\) ranks \(l\) above par, where par
can be a vector with multiple thresholds.
"geometric": Nonconformity of \(i\) to ego \(l\) regarding the relative ranking
of \(j\) and \(k\) is weighted by par taken to the power of the rank of \(l\) by \(i\) , where par
is a scalar.
