control.simulate.stergm: Auxiliary for Controlling Separable Temporal ERGM Simulation

Description

Auxiliary function as user interface for fine-tuning STERGM simulation.

Usage

control.simulate.stergm(MCMC.burnin.min=NULL, MCMC.burnin.max=NULL,
                        MCMC.burnin.pval=NULL, MCMC.burnin.add=NULL,
                        MCMC.burnin=NULL, MCMC.burnin.mul=NULL,
                        MCMC.prop.weights.form=NULL,MCMC.prop.args.form=NULL,
                        MCMC.prop.weights.diss=NULL,MCMC.prop.args.diss=NULL,
                        MCMC.init.maxedges=NULL,
                        MCMC.packagenames=NULL,
                        MCMC.init.maxchanges=NULL)
control.simulate.network(MCMC.burnin.min=1000, MCMC.burnin.max=100000,
                         MCMC.burnin.pval=0.5, MCMC.burnin.add=1,
                         MCMC.burnin=NULL, MCMC.burnin.mul=NULL,
                         MCMC.prop.weights.form="default",MCMC.prop.args.form=NULL,
                         MCMC.prop.weights.diss="default",MCMC.prop.args.diss=NULL,
                         MCMC.init.maxedges=20000,
                         MCMC.packagenames=c(),
                         MCMC.init.maxchanges=1000000)

Arguments

MCMC.burnin.min, MCMC.burnin.max, MCMC.burnin.pval, MCMC.burnin.add

Number of Metropolis-Hastings steps per phase (formation and dissolution) per time step used in simulation. By default, this is determined adaptively by keeping track of increments in the Hamming distance between the transitioned-from netw

MCMC.prop.weights.form, MCMC.prop.weights.diss

Specifies the proposal distribution used in the MCMC Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for formation and dissolution, respectively. Possible choices are "TNT" or "random"; the "default". The TNT

MCMC.prop.args.form, MCMC.prop.args.diss

An alternative, direct way of specifying additional arguments to proposals.

MCMC.init.maxchanges

Maximum number of toggles changes for which to allocate space.

MCMC.packagenames

Names of packages in which to look for change statistic functions in addition to those autodetected. This argument should not be needed outside of very strange setups.

MCMC.init.maxedges

Maximum number of edges expected in network.

MCMC.burnin, MCMC.burnin.mul

No longer used. See MCMC.burnin.min, MCMC.burnin.max, MCMC.burnin.pval, MCMC.burnin.pval, and MCMC.burnin.add.

Value

A list with arguments as components.

Details

This function is only used within a call to the simulate function. See the usage section in simulate.stergm for details.
