Exercise

Second order link-based features

In this exercise, you will compute the number and ratio of churn and non-churn neighbors in the second order neighborhood. The procedure is the same as in the previous exercise, except now you use the second order adjacency matrix.

Instructions

100 XP

Compute the number of churn neighbors in the second order neighborhood using SecondOrderMatrix and the Churn attribute. Convert the result with as.vector() and add it as ChurnNeighbors2 to network.
Also compute NonChurnNeighbors2, the number of non-churn neighbors in the second order neighborhood.
Calculate RelationalNeighbor2, the ratio of churners in the second order neighborhood, by dividing ChurnNeighbors2 with the sum of ChurnNeighbors2 and NonChurnNeighbors2.
