ergm-terms: Temporally-Sensitive Terms used in Exponential Family Random Graph Models

Description

Unlike ordinary ergm-terms, which take only a single network as an argument, the terms documented here also take into account the "ages" of extant ties in the network: the time elapsed since their formation.

As implemented, many of these terms cannot be used to "drive" the process of network evolution, but they can be used as target statistics to infer the terms that do. More concretely, they may appear in targets= or monitor= formulas of stergm, simulate.stergm, or summary (with an ERGM formula), but they may not appear in their formation= and dissolution= formulas. These terms are marked with "(target-only)".

All terms listed here are binary.
