Note: Mean indegree (number of incoming ties) equals mean outdegree (number of outgoing ties) by definition. Geary’s C ranges from 0 to 2, with lower values indicating stronger positive correlation between friends’ smoking. Moran’s I ranges from −1 to +1, with higher values indicating stronger positive correlation between friends’ smoking. For both measures, the midpoint of the range indicates no correlation between friends’ smoking.
