control.simulate.ergm.ego: Control parameters for simulate.ergm.ego.

Description

Constructs and checks the list of control parameters for simulation by simulate.ergm.ego.

Usage

control.simulate.ergm.ego(
  ppop.wt = c("round", "sample"),
  SAN = control.san(),
  simulate = control.simulate(),
  ...
)

Value

A list with arguments as components.

Arguments

ppop.wt

Because each ego must be represented in the pseuodopopulation network an integral number of times, if the sample is weighted (or the target \(|N'|\) calculated from ppopsize and ppopsize.mul is not a multiple of the sample size), it may not be possible, for a finite \(|N'|\) to represent each ego exactly according to its relative weight, and ppop.wt controls how the fractional egos are allocated:

"round"

(default) Rather than treating ppopsize as a hard setting, calculate \(|N'| w_i / w_\cdot\) for each ego \(i\) and round it to the nearest integer. Then, the \(|N'|\) actually used will be the sum of these rounded freqencies.

"sample"

Resample in proportion to \(w_i\).

SAN

A list of control parameters for san constructed by control.ergm, called to construct a pseudopopulation network consistent with the data.

simulate

A list of control parameters for simulate.formula constructed by control.simulate, called to simulate from the model fit.
