Network Analysis: Analysis- Stata

Summarize the Network

1. In the Command box type in the following code

nwsummarize NetworkName, detail

Example: nwsummarize gang, detail

2. Hit Enter key

 

Output

---------------------------------------------

Network name:  gang                               <- name of the network

Network id:  1                                           <- network set number defined (1=1st, 2=2nd)

Directed: false                                          <- network edges are undirected

Nodes: 54                                                 <- number of nodes in the network (network size)

Edges: 133                                               <- number of edges present (aka ties)

Minimum value:  0                                    <- lowest edge value (no edge present)

Maximum value:  1                                   <- highest edge value (edge present)

Density: .092941998602376                    <- ratio of edges present to possible edges in the network

Reciprocity: .092941998602376              <- likelihood for node to be mutually linked

Transitivity: .3635371179039302             <- measure for local connectedness of the whole network

Betweenness centralization: .10668296  <- distribution of the number of paths going through each node

Degree centralization: .1973875181422  <- distribution of total degrees of each node in the network

Degree Centrality

1. In the Command box type in the following code

nwdegree NetworkName,

Example: nwdegree network1

2. Hit Enter key

Output

_degree |    Freq.   Percent   Cum.
