Run Network Measures

When you finish selecting the specific data that you choose to analyze, run a Network Measure analysis on that data. Review the Network Data Tips before you start your analysis.

  1. In the Data File page, click the Network Measure radio button near the bottom of the page.
  2. Use the Attributes drop-down list and select the type of analysis to perform:
    • Page Rank - Determine how much influence comes from a specific actor or node.
    • Degree - Determine the number of relationships or collaborations exist within a network data set.
    • Unique Degree - Determine the number of collaborators that exist.
    • In Largest Component - Determine the largest component of a network.
    • Bonacich Centrality - Determine the importance of a main actor or node.
  3. In the Parameters field, enter the specific value with which to subset data using that function:
    • Page Rank - Enter a value for the parameter <d>, a proportion, between 0 and 1.
    • Degree - Enter the number of relationships to extract from a network data set.
    • Unique Degree - Enter the number of unique relationships to extract.
    • In Largest Component - Enter the number of components to extract from a network data set, starting with the largest.
    • Bonacich Centrality - Enter a value for the alpha parameter between -1 and +1. Enter a value for the exo parameter that is greater than 0.
  4. Click Run to perform the analysis.
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the window, and when the analysis is processed you see a new entry in the Subset History panel that contains your analyzed data.

Continue to download the analyzed subset.
