bipartite (version 2.18)

as.tnet: Ensures that networks conform to the tnet stardards

Description

Checks that a network conforms to the tnet stardards, and attaches a label. If the type parameter is not set, the network is assumed to be a binary two-mode network, a weighted one-mode network, or a longitudinal network if there are 2, 3, or 4 columns respectively. Moreover, if a matrix is entered (more than 4 columns and rows), it is assumed to be a weighted one-mode network if square or a two-mode network if non-square.

Usage

as.tnet(net, type=NULL)

Value

Returns the network with an attached label.

Arguments

net

A network in an edgelist or matrix format. It can be a weighted one-mode network, a binary two-mode network, a weighted two-mode netork, or a longitudinal network. If the data-object has two-columns, it is assumed to be a binary two-mode network; three columns, weighted one-mode network; four columns, longitudinal; five or more and the same number of rows and columns, weighted one-mode network; five or more and --not-- the same number of rows and columns, it is assumed to be a two-mode network.

type

If you would like to specify the type of network. This could be ``weighted one-mode tnet'', ``binary two-mode tnet'', ``weighted two-mode tnet'', or ``longitudinal tnet''.
