nodecovar-ergmTerm: Covariance of undirected dyad values incident on each actor

Description

This term adds one statistic equal to i,j<kyi,jyi,k/(n2) . This can be viewed as a valued analog of the star(2) statistic.

Usage

# valued: nodecovar(center, transform)

Arguments

center

If center=TRUE , the y, s are centered by their mean over the whole network before the calculation. Note that this makes the model non-local, but it may alleviate multimodailty.

transform

If transform="sqrt" , y, s are repaced by their square roots before the calculation. This makes sense for counts in particular. If center=TRUE as well, they are centered by the mean of the square roots.
