STEP 1 Generate subgroups from truncated Poisson distribu-
tion.We start by performing a single draw from a Poisson
distribution with mean (ni · dgi), where ni is the size of
the egonet i, dgi is the degree of group g and egonet i, and
α is a tuning parameter7. We redraw from the Poisson
distribution if the draw is larger than ni. The means used
for this analysis may be found in Table 3.
STEP 2 Random assignment for groups.We then assign group
labels based on the Poisson draws from STEP 1 through
a simple random assignment procedure.
STEP 3 Perform logistic regression; Table 4.
