This term adds one network statistic for each node equal to the number of
out-ties for that node. This measures the activity of the node. The term for
the first node is omitted by default because of linear dependence that
arises if this term is used together with edges
, but its coefficient
can be computed as the negative of the sum of the coefficients of all the
other actors. That is, the average coefficient is zero, following the
Holland-Leinhardt parametrization of the $p_1$ model (Holland and Leinhardt,
1981).
