The Core Might Change Anyhow We Define It: The Instability of Key Actors in Longitudinal Social Network Data

Figure 6

Box plot of sequence instability values computed on both the advice-seeking and friendship networks for the Borda count aggregated measure (Bca). We separated the school classes into two groups: on the top plot, we have observation data for 4 waves, on the bottom for 5 waves. Bca: sequence instability of Borda count aggregated measure with parameters {k = 1, }, Bca-J-5: sequence instability of Borda count aggregated measure with parameters {k = 5, }, and Bca-S-5: sequence instability of Borda count aggregated measure with parameters {k = 5, }.
