ergmlhs {ergm}

An API for specifying aspects of an ergm model in the LHS/basis network.

Description

⁠%ergmlhs%⁠ extracts the setting, while assigning to it sets or updates it.

Usage

lhs %ergmlhs% setting

## S3 method for class 'network'
lhs %ergmlhs% setting

lhs %ergmlhs% setting <- value

## S3 method for class 'network'
lhs %ergmlhs% setting <- value

convert_ergmlhs(lhs)

## S3 method for class 'ergm_lhs'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'ergm_lhs'
summary(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'summary.ergm_lhs'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

lhs

a network intended to serve as LHS of a ergm call.

setting

a character string holding a setting's name.

value

value with which to overwrite the setting.

Details

The settings are stored in a named list in an "ergm" network attribute attached to the LHS network. Currently understood settings include:

response

Edge attribute to be used as the response variable, constructed from the ⁠response=⁠ argument of ergm().

constraints

Structural constraints of the network: inherited by the ⁠constraints=⁠ argument of ergm(), simulate.formula(), etc..

obs.constraints

Structural constraints of the observation process: inherited by the ⁠obs.constraints=⁠ argument of ergm(), simulate.formula(), etc..

Functions

• convert_ergmlhs(): convert_ergmlhs converts old-style settings to new-style settings.

• print(ergm_lhs): a print method.

• summary(ergm_lhs): helper method for printing summary.

• print(summary.ergm_lhs): helper method for printing summary.
