reedmolloy {degreenet}

Generate a undirected network with a given sequence of degrees

Description

Generate a undirected network where the degree of each actor is specified. The degree is the number of actors the actor is tied to. This returns a network object and requires the igraph package.

Usage

reedmolloy(deg, maxit=10, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

deg

vector of counts where element i is the degree of actor i. Its sum should be even.

maxit

integer; maximum number of jitterings of the degree sequence to find a valid network.

verbose

Print out details of the progress of the algorithm.

Value

The network is returned as a network object.
