absdiffcat-ergmTerm: Categorical absolute difference in nodal attribute

Description

This term adds one statistic for every possible nonzero distinct value of abs(attr[i]-attr[j]) in the network. The value of each such statistic is the number of edges in the network with the corresponding absolute difference.

Usage

# binary: absdiffcat(attr,
#                 base=NULL,
#                 levels=NULL)
# valued: absdiffcat(attr,
#                 base=NULL,
#                 levels=NULL,
#                 form="sum")
