All is working well, however, is there a way to see what group contributed the most to the sameness effect? Sameness shows overall whether actors (firms) have a preference for alters with the exact same value, but it seems unclear which group contributes the most to the effect.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Kind regards, <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Ferdi<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
