Abstract
⺠Frequency of transitive triads is a key measure of structure in dominance hierarchies. ⺠We compare a network-based measure of triangle transitivity and measures of linearity. ⺠Linearity underestimates transitivity due to imputation procedure for null dyads. ⺠Null dyads are not random, and they are important components of dominance structure. ⺠Network approach is a powerful method for studying dominance hierarchies.
