R: Evaluate the goodness-of-fit of an estimated model.

gof.mlergm {mlergm}

R Documentation

Evaluate the goodness-of-fit of an estimated model.

Description

Performs a Goodness-of-Fit procedure along the lines of Hunter, Goodreau, and Handcock (2008). Statistics are simulated from an fitted mlergm object, which can then be plotted and visualized. An example is given in the documentation of mlergm.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mlergm'
gof(object, ..., options = set_options(), seed = NULL, gof_form = NULL)

Arguments

`object`	An object of class `mlergm`, likely produced by function `mlergm`.
`...`	Additional arguments to be passed if necessary.
`options`	See `set_options` for details.
`seed`	A seed to be provided to ensure reproducibility of results.
`gof_form`	A formula object of the form `~ term1 + term2 + ...` for statistics to compute for the GOF procedure.

Value

gof.mlergm returns an object of class gof_mlergm which is a list containing:

`obs_stats`	The GOF statistic values of the observed network.
`gof_stats`	The GOF statistic values simulated from the the estimated `mlergm` objeect provided.
