Prior belief: This figure illustrates the three main phases of prior elicitation. That is, a a matrix representation of belief B ₁, where authors are more likely to collaborate with each other if they are from the same country. b B ₁ normalized row-wise using the local model interpretation. c Prior elicitation for κ=4; i.e., \(\alpha _{ij} = \frac {b_{ij}}{Z} \times \kappa + 1\)
