Examples

# Only model positive ties:
tribes.fit<-ergmm(tribes~euclidean(d=2,G=3),response="pos")
# Edge color must be set manually, for green ties to represent alliance
# and for red ties to represent enmity.
plot(tribes.fit,edge.col=as.matrix(tribes,"pos",m="a")*3+as.matrix(tribes,"neg",m="a")*2,pie=TRUE)
# Model both positive and negative ties:
