Homogeneity blockmodeling
Appearance
Homogeneity blockmodeling is an approach in blockmodeling, which is best suited for a preliminary or main approach to valued networks, when a prior knowledge about these networks is not available. This is due to the fact, that homogenity blockmodeling emphasizes the similarity of link (tie) strenghts within the blocks over the pattern of links.[1] In this approach, tie (link) values (or statistical data computed on them) are assumed to be equal (homogenous) within blocks.[2]
