Assortativity / homophily analysis
Table
| Risk | DWH | Panmictic range |
|---|---|---|
| MSM | 0.331 | −0.116,−0.250 |
| Hetero | 0.272 | −0.078,−0.192 |
| IDU | 0.438 | −0.009,−0.124 |
DWH (Degree-weighted homophily) ranges from -1 to 1. A DWH value of 0 indicates that there is no more homophily than expected with chance, while a value of 1 indicates that there is perfect homophily (e.g. Birds always link to birds). A value of -1 is achieved for perfectly disassortative networks (e.g. Bird never linking with another bird).
Panmictic range is a label permutation test to compute the null distribution of DWH values.
