InitErgmTerm.absdiffby

absdiffby

This function defines and initializes the absdiffby ERGM term
that allows for representing homophily with respect to a
non-binary attribute (e.g., age) differentially by a binary
attribute (e.g., sex).

Tools for simulating mathematical models of infectious disease dynamics.
Epidemic model classes include deterministic compartmental models, stochastic
individual-contact models, and stochastic network models. Network models use the
robust statistical methods of exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs)
from the Statnet suite of software packages in R. Standard templates for epidemic
modeling include SI, SIR, and SIS disease types. EpiModel features an API for
extending these templates to address novel scientific research aims. Full
methods for EpiModel are detailed in Jenness et al. (2018, <doi:10.18637/jss.v084.i08>).
