Abstract
An approach to the indirect blockmodeling of 3-way network data is presented for structural equivalence. This equivalence type is defined formally and expressed in terms of an interchangeability condition that is used to construct a compatible dissimilarity. Using Ward’s method, the three dimensional partitioning is obtained via hierarchical clustering and represented diagrammatically. Artificial and real data are used to illustrate these methods.
