Deference (aversion)

Measures the amount of "deference" in the network: configurations where an ego $i$ ranks an alter $j$ over another alter $k$, but $j$, in turn, ranks $k$ over $i$ . A lower-than-chance value of this statistic and/or a negative coefficient implies a form of mutuality in the network.
