Dear R-Siena Experts<div><br></div><div>Hi. </div><div><br></div><div>I am currently running a simulation to see the effect of Value homophily </div><div>on Social Network. </div><div><br></div><div>While running the simulation, I encountered some obstacles. </div>
<div><br></div><div>1) I have a question on the <b>fix(xx effects)</b> commands. ( there are some inconsistencies which I do not understand.)</div><div>- When I use this command, sometimes outdegree (density) appears on the table but, sometimes it does not. </div>
<div>- Also, with the same commands, sometimes the simulation works but sometimes it doesn't with the following message. </div><div><br></div><div><meta charset="utf-8"><div style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; ">
