Arguments
formula |
formula; an |
aux.iters |
count; number of auxiliary iterations used for drawing the first network from the ERGM likelihood. See |
n.aux.draws |
count; Number of auxiliary networks drawn from the ERGM likelihood. See |
aux.thin |
count; Number of auxiliary iterations between network draws after the first network is drawn. See |
ladder |
count; Length of temperature ladder (>=3). |
estimate |
If "MLE" (the default), then an approximate maximum likelihood estimator is returned. If "CD" , the Monte-Carlo contrastive divergence estimate is returned. See |
seed |
integer; seed for the random number generator. See |
