Integration indicators :

T = (0.10 0.92) + (0.04 -0.69) + (0.06 -0.29) + (0.04 -0.69) + (0.32 0.69) + (0.04 -1.39) + (0.06
-0.29) + (0.04 -1.39) + (0.30 0.63) = 0.30

Ti=j = (1/0.72) ((0.10 0.92) + (0.32 0.69) + (0.30 0. 63)) = 0.70

Ti j= (1/0.28) ((0.04 -0.69) + (0.06 -0.29) + (0.04 -0.69) + (0.04 -1.39) + (0.06 -0.29) + (0.04 -
1.39)) = -0.72

T1 = (1/0.2) ((0.10 0.92) + (0.04 -0.69) + (0.06 -0.29)) = 0.23

T2 = (1/0.4) ((0.04 -0.69) + (0.32 0.69) + (0.04 -1.39)) = 0.35

T3 = (1/0.4) ((0.06 -0.29) + (0.04 -1.39) + (0.30 0.63)) = 0.29

18 An address that is listed before or after another address is treated in the same way. The share of
collaborations between two different countries is therefore computed as half the mean to obtain
qij=qji.
