Odds ratio of existence of within-group ties
Description
Odds ratio for connected, as opposed to disconnected, dyads depending whether it is between- or within-group, i.e. how much more likely the dyad will be connected if it is within-group.
Usage
orwg(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'table'
orwg(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'igraph'
orwg(object, vattr, ...)
## Default S3 method:
orwg(object, ...)
Arguments
object |
R object, see Details for available methods |
... |
other arguments passed to/from other methods |
vattr |
character scalar or any vector, name of the vertex attribute or the attribute itself (as a vector) |
Details
The measure takes values, like all odds ratios, from (0; Inf).
If object is a table it is interpreted as a mixing matrix.
Two-dimensional table is interpreted as a contact layer. Three-dimensional
table is interpreted as a full mixing matrix m_{ghy}
cross-classyfying all dyads, in which g and h correspond to
group membership of ego and alter respectively. Layers y=1 and
y=2 are assumed to be non-contact and contact layers respectively.
If object is of class "igraph" it is required to supply vattr
with the name of the vertex attribute to calculate intermediate mixing
matrix.
Value
Numeric value of the measure.
