Persons with large network sizes have a higher probability of selection into the study and are therefore down-weighted while participants with smaller networks receive a greater weight for analysis [ 47].
Parry & Pescosolido associate contact with mental health services with diminishing network size and greater turnover of network membership with remaining network members performing a greater number of support functions [ 22].
There was a tonic decrease in theta- and alpha-band networks during Ee trials (P < 0.01 from −500 to 1500 ms), though network size was greater for Cc compared with Ec trials in lower frequencies after the response (P < 0.01 from 125 to 575 ms).
Compared to the NSHAP, the KSHAP respondents maintained a smaller network size with a greater network density among their members and lower bridging potential.
Several studies have shown that a larger social network size and a greater level of social support are generally associated with lower rates of mortality and morbidity.
Moreover, as the network size increases, correlation has greater impact on outage probability.
Despite the size difference, the SLN shows greater network heterogeneity (SLN = 1.30, SVN = 1.17) and lower centralization (SLN = 0.175, SVN = 0.205) and density (SLN = 0.014, SVN = 0.021) values than the SVN.
This means that, for a given network size N, strongly connected networks have greater escape times than weakly connected networks.
The balanced scheme guarantees the longer lifetime regardless of other network conditions including the network size, the transmitter power, if the link threshold is greater or equal to.
In contrast with the cross-sectional associations reported above, the interactions between time and network size showed that participants with a larger kin network size had a greater increase in emotional closeness over time and participants with fewer friends had a greater increase in emotional closeness to kin over time.
