expos: Network Exposure for Multiple Networks

Description

Function to measure the network exposure of the nodes accroding to a chosen relational system representing a multiple network.

Usage

expos(rs, bh, adopters = FALSE)

Arguments

rs

an object of `Rel.System'

bh

a data frame, or a diagonal matrix of binary data with the behaviour of the nodes

adopters

(optional) whether the adopters should be included or not in the output

Value

• Adoption
  the adoption membership for the type of relational system chosen
• Exposure
  the exposure to the behaviour

Details

This is a generalization of the network exposure measure for multiple networks with the characteristics chosen for the representative relational system. It is possible to specify up to two different behaviours for the nodes, from which the measure is calculated.

Examples

## Create the data: two binary relations among three elements
arr <- round( replace( array( runif(18), c(3 ,3, 2) ), array( runif(18),
c(3, 3, 2) ) > .9, 3 ) )

## Calculate the exposure measure for two behaviours
expos(rel.sys(arr), arr)
