ergm (version 3.8.0)

ergm.geodistdist: calculate geodesic distance distribution for a network or edgelist

Description

ergm.geodistdist calculates geodesic distance distribution for a given network and returns it as a vector.

ergm.geodistn calculates geodesic deistance distribution based on an input edgelist, and has very little error checking so should not normally be called by users. The C code requires the edgelist to be directed and sorted correctly.

Usage

ergm.geodistdist(nw, directed = is.directed(nw))
ergm.geodistn(edgelist, n = max(edgelist), directed = FALSE)

Arguments

nw

network object over which distances should be calculated

directed

logical, should the network be treated as directed

edgelist

an edgelist representation of a network as an mx2 matrix

n

integer, size of the network

Value

a vector ans with length equal to the size of the network where

• ans[i], i=1, ..., n-1 is the number of pairs of geodesic length i

• ans[n] is the number of pairs of geodesic length infinity.

Details

ergm.geodistdist is a network wrapper for ergm.geodistn, which calculates and returns the geodesic distance distribution for a given network via full_geodesic_distribution.C
