$.control.list: Named element accessor for ergm control lists

Description

Utility method that overrides the standard `$' list accessor to disable partial matching for ergm control.list objects

Usage

## S3 method for class 'control.list':
$(object, name)

Arguments

object

list-coearceable object with elements to be searched

name

literal character name of list element to search for and return

Value

• Returns the named list element exactly matching name, or NULL if no matching elements found

Details

Executes getElement instead of $ so that element names must match exactly to be returned and partially matching names will not return the wrong object.
