An Algorithm and Metric for Network Decomposition from Similarity Matrices: Application to Positional Analyses

We present an algorithm for decomposing a social network into an optimal number of structurally equivalent classes. The k-means method is used to determine the best decomposition of the social network for various numbers of subgroups. The best number of subgroups into which to decompose a network is...
