sienaDataCreate: Function to create a Siena data object

Description

Creates a Siena data object from input networks, covariates, and composition change objects.

Usage

sienaDataCreate(..., nodeSets=NULL, getDocumentation=FALSE)

Arguments

…

objects of class sienaDependent, coCovar,varCovar,coDyadCovar, varDyadCovar, sienaCompositionChange

nodeSets

list of Siena node sets. Default is the single node set named 'Actors', length equal to the number of rows in the first object of class "sienaDependent". If the entire data set contains more than one node set, then the node sets must have been specified in the creation of all data objects.

getDocumentation

Flag to allow documentation of internal functions, not for use by users.

Value

An object of class "siena" which is designed to be used in a siena model fit. The components of the object are.

nodeSets

List of node sets involved

observations

Integer indicating number of waves of data

depvars

List of networks and behavior variables

cCovars

List of constant covariates

vCovars

List of changing covariates

dycCovars

List of constant dyadic covariates

dyvCovars

List of changing dyadic covariates

compositionChange

List of composition change objects corresponding to the node sets

Details

Checks that the objects fit, that there is at least one network, and adds various attributes to each dependent variable describing the data. If there is more than one nodeSet they must all be specified.
