Moreover, there exist other serious problems in general in modelling a set of longitudinal asymmetric similaritySimilarity (similarities) matrices. One is concerned with the number of instants of time at which such matrices can be observed. For example, we cannot gather sociomatrices so frequently in a short period of time because in such a situation subjects might not rate other members independently.
