edgelist_censor: Table of Edge Censoring

Description

Outputs a table of the number and percent of edges that are left-censored, right-censored, both-censored, or uncensored for a networkDynamic object.

Usage

edgelist_censor(el)

Arguments

el

Timed edgelist with start and end times extracted from a networkDynamic object using the as.data.frame.networkDynamic function.

Details

Given a STERGM simulation over a specified number of time steps, the edges within that simulation may be left-censored (started before the first step), right-censored (continued after the last step), right and left-censored, or uncensored. The amount of censoring will increase when the average edge duration approaches the length of the simulation.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Initialize and parameterize network model
nw <- network_initialize(n = 100)
formation <- ~edges
target.stats <- 50
coef.diss <- dissolution_coefs(dissolution = ~offset(edges), duration = 20)

# Model estimation
est <- netest(nw, formation, target.stats, coef.diss, verbose = FALSE)

# Simulate the network and extract a timed edgelist
dx <- netdx(est, nsims = 1, nsteps = 100, keep.tedgelist = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)
el <- as.data.frame(dx)

# Calculate censoring
edgelist_censor(el)

# }
