adjustPL: Adjustment of pseudolikelihood function

Description

Function to estimate the transformation parameters for adjusting the pseudolikelihood function.

Usage

adjustPL(formula, aux.iters = 3000, noisy.nsim = 50, noisy.thin = 50,
  ladder = 50, ...)

Arguments

formula

formula; an ergm formula object, of the form <network> ~ <model terms> where <network> is a network object and <model terms> are ergm-terms.

aux.iters

count; Number of proposals before any MCMC sampling is done. See control.simulate.formula.

noisy.nsim

count; Number of TNT draws. See control.simulate.formula.

noisy.thin

count; Number of proposals between sampled statistics. See control.simulate.formula.

ladder

count; Length of temperature ladder (>=3).

...

Additional arguments, to be passed to the ergm function. See ergm.
