This statistic implements the cyclical weights statistic, like that defined by Krivitsky (2012), Equation 13, but with the focus dyad being \(y_{j,i}\) rather than \(y_{i,j}\) . For each option, the first (and the default) is more stable but also more conservative, while the second is more sensitive but more likely to induce a multimodal distribution of networks.
# valued: cyclicalweights(twopath="min", combine="max", affect="min")
the minimum of the constituent dyads ( "min"
) or their geometric mean
( "geomean"
)
the maximum of the
2-path strengths ( "max"
) or their sum ( "sum"
)
the minimum of the focus dyad and the
combined strength of the two paths ( "min"
) or their
geometric mean ( "geomean"
)
