Before revision:  We show that the proposed method accurately models the alliance network, provides discriminant features for community discovery , successfully predicts administrator election outcome consistent with real election outcomes, and provides deeper analytic insights into ANG outcome analysis by pinpointing influential vertices and anomalous decisions  .
After revision:  We show that the proposed method accurately models the alliance network, provides discriminant features for community discovery when compared to spectral clustering and to automatically identify dominant vertices and anomalous decisions .
