homophili.data {CDatanet}

Converting data between directed network models and symmetric network models.

Description

homophili.data converts the matrix of explanatory variables between directed network models and symmetric network models.

Usage

homophili.data(data, nvec, to = c("lower", "upper", "symmetric"))

Arguments

data

is the matrix or data.frame of the explanatory variables of the network formation model. This corresponds to the X matrix in homophily.fe or in homophily.re.

nvec

is a vector of the number of individuals in the networks.

to

indicates the direction of the conversion. For a matrix of explanatory variable X (n*(n-1) rows), one can can select lower triangular entries (to = "lower") or upper triangular entries (⁠to = "upper⁠). For a triangular X (n*(n-1)/2 rows), one can convert to a full matrix of n*(n-1) rows by using symmetry (to = "symmetric").

Value

the transformed data.frame.
