Abstract

This paper considers the use of the Bond Energy approach of McCormick, Schweitzer, and White as an alternative to CONCOR and other methods for producing blockmodels, and to Baker's approach to three-way blockmodels. Results of analyses using artificial data and the Roethlisberger-Dickson Bank Wiring Room data are presented, where algorithms alternative to the one of McCormick et al. (including versions of simulated annealing) are considered.
