Behavioral change parameters are adjusted for network structural parameters (Table 3 and 4).

Linear and quadratic shape parameters are the effects of the ego’s own behavior (linear) and behavior-squared (quadratic) on his or her future behavior. The “average similarity” parameters represent social influence of the alters’ on the ego.
