This is a low-level function not intended to be called directly by end users. This function sets up the available initial fitting methods for each reference measure and queries them.
ergm.init.methods(reference, new.methods)
The reference measure used in the model.
If passed, prepends the new initial fitting methods to the list for that reference measure.
A character vector listing initial methods for the reference measure
specified. (If new.methods
is passed, does so invisibly.)
