This term adds one network statistic to the model equal to the number of
triads in the network that are balanced. The balanced triads are those of
type 102
or 300
in the categorization of Davis and Leinhardt (1972). For details on the 16 possible triad types, see
?triad.classify
in the {sna}
package. For an undirected
network, the balanced triads are those with an odd number of ties (i.e., 1
and 3).
