Do individuals with the same attribute tend to use the same paths and individuals with different attributes to move to different places? This statistic gives a positive contribution to all cliques of individuals with the same (binary) covariate who use the same path. It's a geometrically-weighted statistic, so the more cliques we add, the less they matter.
