Reciprocity was calculated as 2M/(2M + A), where M = mutual ties and A = asymmetric ties. Transitivity was calculated as N of transitive triplets divided by N of 2-paths (potentially transitive triplets). For more information on the calculation of the different network indices see Veenstra and Steglich (2012)
