transitiveweights-ergmTerm {ergm}

Transitive weights

Description

This statistic implements the transitive weights statistic defined by Krivitsky (2012), Equation 13. For each of these options, the first (and the default) is more stable but also more conservative, while the second is more sensitive but more likely to induce a multimodal distribution of networks.

Usage

# valued: transitiveweights(twopath="min", combine="max", affect="min")

Arguments

twopath

the minimum of the constituent dyads ( "min" ) or their geometric mean ( "geomean" )

combine

the maximum of the 2-path strengths ( "max" ) or their sum ( "sum" )

affect

the minimum of the focus dyad and the combined strength of the two paths ( "min" ) or their geometric mean ( "geomean" )
