[Rsiena-help] A question of Interpretation

[cecile.emery at usi.ch]

Hello R-Siena group!

Very quick question.

As part of my research, I argue that my dynamic network is not driven by the tendency towards reciprocity.

After running Siena (without problems), I obtain a non-significant positive (around 0.3) coefficient on the reciprocity parameter.

Is this enough to support my hypothesis? Shouldn't I expect a negative coefficient on the 'reciprocity' parameter? Is that even possible (I don't recall seeing a negative coefficient on reciprocity)?

Thanks in advance!

Cécile
