btergm_tidiers: Tidying method for a bootstrapped temporal exponential random graph model

Description

This method tidies the coefficients of a bootstrapped temporal exponential random graph model estimated with the xergm. It simply returns the coefficients and their confidence intervals.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'btergm':
tidy(x, conf.level = 0.95, exponentiate = FALSE,
  quick = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

a btergm object

conf.level

confidence level of the bootstrapped interval

exponentiate

whether to exponentiate the coefficient estimates and confidence intervals

quick

whether to compute a smaller and faster version, containing only the term and estimate columns.

...

extra arguments (currently not used)

Value

A data.frame without rownames.
tidy.btergm returns one row for each coefficient, with four columns:
termThe term in the model being estimated and tested
estimateThe estimated coefficient
conf.lowThe lower bound of the confidence interval
conf.highThe lower bound of the confidence interval

Details

There is no augment or glance method for ergm objects.

Examples

Run this code

if (require("xergm")) {
    # Using the same simulated example as the xergm package
    # Create 10 random networks with 10 actors
    networks <- list()
    for(i in 1:10){
        mat <- matrix(rbinom(100, 1, .25), nrow = 10, ncol = 10)
        diag(mat) <- 0
        nw <- network::network(mat)
        networks[[i]] <- nw
    }
    # Create 10 matrices as covariates
    covariates <- list()
    for (i in 1:10) {
        mat <- matrix(rnorm(100), nrow = 10, ncol = 10)
        covariates[[i]] <- mat
    }
    # Fit a model where the propensity to form ties depends
    # on the edge covariates, controlling for the number of
    # in-stars
    btfit <- btergm(networks ~ edges + istar(2) +
                      edgecov(covariates), R = 100)

    # Show terms, coefficient estimates and errors
    tidy(btfit)

    # Show coefficients as odds ratios with a 99\% CI
    tidy(btfit, exponentiate = TRUE, conf.level = 0.99)
