chain_simulate_Isingland {Isinglandr}

Make Ising chains from (a series of) Ising grid(s) and perform a chain simulation.

Description

First specify what is the network parameter in each time points, then perform a chain simulation based on it. An Ising chain can be generated from one or more Ising grid(s) with one changing condition each.

Usage

chain_simulate_Isingland(
  Ising_chain,
  transform = FALSE,
  initial = 0,
  beta2 = NULL
)

make_Ising_chain(...)

Arguments

Ising_chain

An Ising_chain object generated from make_Ising_chain().

transform

By default, this function considers the Ising network to use -1 and 1 for two states. Set transform = TRUE if the Ising network uses 0 and 1 for two states, which is often the case for the Ising networks estimated using IsingFit::IsingFit().

initial

An integer indicating the initial number of active nodes for the simulation. Float numbers will be converted to an integer automatically.

beta2

The beta value used for simulation. By default use the same value as for landscape construction. Manually setting this value can make the system easier or more difficult to transition to another state, but will alter the steady-state distribution as well.

...

Ising grid(s) created by make_Ising_grid().

Value

make_Ising_chain returns an Ising_chain object, which is a tibble, and each row represents a set of parameters for an Ising network.

chain_simulate_Isingland returns a chain_sim_Isingland object, which is a tibble containing the parameters, the landscape, and the number of active nodes for each time step.
