Table 4 Stochastic actor-oriented model: the network dynamics component of the model estimates the log odds of procuring parts between a client and supplier embedded in network structures and characterized by performance described by the estimated effects; the revenue dynamics component of the model estimates the log odds of increasing productivity by one step on the RPE or ROS scale
