| == Where to find ==
| |
| | |
| Access is given via the [[analysis tab]] in the left-hand side of the visone window:
| |
| set ''level'' to '''grouping''', set ''class'' to '''clustering''', and set ''measure'' to '''triadic cohesion clustering (TCC)'''.

| | |
| ==== link strength ====
| |
| | |
| For each node, the algorithm will rank its neighborhood (outgoing links) according to the provided link strength attribute.
| |
| * If '''uniform''' is selected (default), links are first weighted according to their Simmelian strength and afterwards ranked according to this newly created link attribute (termed ''triadType300'').
| |
| * '''Otherwise''', the rankings will be calculated according to the link strength attribute that was provided.
| |
| | |
| The resulting neighborhood rankings are saved within a new link attribute termed ''rank''.
| |
| | |
| ==== min overlap ====
| |
| | |
| This parameter allows to specify a threshold for the minimal required overlap for a link not be removed from the network; see next paragraphs for more information on the calculation of the overlap.
| |
| | |
| ==== max ranking ====
| |
| | |
| Given a pair of nodes, the algorithm will calculate the overlap of top-ranked other nodes in their neighborhoods.
| |
| You can use the ''max ranking'' parameter to specify the maximum rank which is still reagrded as top-rank.
| |
| That is, those neighbors that have been attached a rank greater than ''max rank'' will be disregarded when calculating the overlap.
| |
| | |
| ==== restricted ====
| |
| | |
| Use this parameter to decide for which pairs of actors the overlap of top-ranked neighborhoods is calculated.
| |
| | |
| * if selected (default), the overlap calculation is restricted to those links which have been top-ranked themselves
| |
| * if de-selected, the overlap calculation is performed for each connected pair of actors
