rel.sys: Relational System

Description

Create the Relation System of a multiple network.

Usage

rel.sys(x, bonds = c("entire", "strong", "weak"), prsep = ", ")

Arguments

an array; usually with three dimensions of stacked matrices where the multiple relations are placed.

bonds

the type of bonds to be used in the creation of the relational system

prsep

(optional) the pair separator for the pairwise relations

Value

An object of `Rel.System' class. The items are:
ordorder of the network relational system
nodesthe nodes in the relational system
sys.ordthe order of the relational system with the chosen bond type
inclthe nodes included the relational system with the chosen bond type
exclthe nodes excluded the relational system with the chosen bond type
bond.typethe type of bonds used in the relational system creation
sizenumber of ties in the relational system
tiesthe ties in the relational system

Details

When the type of bonds chosen is entire then the nodes with ties are considered in the relational system without isolated nodes. strong bonds are relational bundles with a mutual character, whereas weak bonds are those pattern exclusively without mutual character.

Examples

Run this code

## 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 ) )

## Determine the system of strong bonds
rel.sys(arr, bonds="strong")
