| Sammanfattning: | A concept and several measures for segmentation of personal networks are proposed. It is argued that the implications of segmentation of personal networks are, in a sense, the opposite of those of segmentation of entire networks. The measures are illustrated by the example of the trust network in a civil service department. For the case where relations in the personal network are observed by a sample rather than completely, estimators for the segmentation measures are given. |
