How to use
Configuration
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 neighborhood rankings are saved within a new link attribute termed rank.
