Before revision:  We also confirm using this method previous research showing that under-representation of the cyclic triangle (feedback loop) can be explained as a consequence of other topological features . Conclusion: ERGMs allow the over- or under-representation of multiple non-independent structural configurations to be tested simultaneously in a single model.
