Abstract

In this paper we introduce a direct approach for Block modeling in multi-relational networks inspired by the Pajek-Approach. In this article the direct Block modeling-method is presented for two-relational networks and evaluated statistically compared to indirect approaches. In addition we apply the method to the "Krackhardt`s High-tech Managers" dataset to show the feasibility of the approach and present a different interpretation proposal for this well known data set.
