This term is just like gwdsp except it adds a statistic equal to the
geometrically weighted edgewise (not dyadwise) shared partner
distribution with decay parameter
decay parameter, which should be non-negative. This term can be used with directed and
undirected networks.
# binary: gwesp(decay, fixed=FALSE, cutoff=30)nonnegative decay parameter for the shared partner or directed 2-path count; required if fixed=TRUE and ignored with a warning otherwise.
optional argument indicating
whether the decay parameter is fixed at the given value, or is to be fit as a curved
exponential-family model (see Hunter and Handcock, 2006). The
default is FALSE , which means the scale parameter is not
fixed and thus the model is a curved exponential family.
This optional argument sets the number of underlying ESP terms
to use in computing the statistics when fixed=FALSE, in order to reduce
the computational burden. Its default value can also be controlled by the
gw.cutoff term option control parameter. (See ?control.ergm.)
