dgwesp-ergmTerm

InitErgmTerm.dgwesp

This term adds a statistic equal to the geometrically weighted edgewise (not dyadwise) shared partner distribution with decay parameter <code>decay</code> parameter.

An integrated set of tools to analyze and simulate networks based on exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs). 'ergm' is a part of the Statnet suite of packages for network analysis. See Hunter, Handcock, Butts, Goodreau, and Morris (2008) <doi:10.18637/jss.v024.i03> and Krivitsky, Hunter, Morris, and Klumb (2021) <arXiv:2106.04997>.

dgwesp-ergmTerm function

<dl><dt>decay</dt>
<dd>nonnegative decay parameter for the shared partner or selected directed analogue count; required if <code>fixed=TRUE</code> and ignored with a warning otherwise.</dd>
<dt>fixed</dt>
<dd>optional argument indicating
whether the <code>decay</code> parameter is fixed at the given value, or is to be fit as a curved
exponential-family model (see Hunter and Handcock, 2006). The
default is <code>FALSE</code> , which means the scale parameter is not
fixed and thus the model is a curved exponential family.</dd>
<dt>cutoff</dt>
<dd>This optional argument sets the number of underlying ESP terms
to use in computing the statistics when <code>fixed=FALSE</code>, in order to reduce
the computational burden. Its default value can also be controlled by the
<code>gw.cutoff</code> term option control parameter. (See <code>?control.ergm</code>.)</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>one of <code>c("OTP", "ITP", "RTP", "OSP", "ISP")</code>.</dd></dl>
