ergm (version 4.7.1)

ergm.geodistdist: Calculate geodesic distance distribution for a network or edgelist

Description

ergm.geodistdist calculates geodesic distance distribution for a given network and returns it as a vector.

ergm.geodistn calculates geodesic deistance distribution based on an input edgelist, and has very little error checking so should not normally be called by users. The C code requires the edgelist to be directed and sorted correctly.

Usage

ergm.geodistdist(nw, directed = is.directed(nw))
ergm.geodistn(edgelist, n = max(edgelist), directed = FALSE)

Value

a vector ans with length equal to the size of the network where

• ans[i], i=1, ..., n-1 is the number of pairs of geodesic length i

• ans[n] is the number of pairs of geodesic length infinity.

Arguments

nw

network object over which distances should be calculated

directed

logical, should the network be treated as directed

edgelist

an edgelist representation of a network as an mx2 matrix

n

integer, size of the network

Details

ergm.geodistdist is a network wrapper for ergm.geodistn, which calculates and returns the geodesic distance distribution for a given network via full_geodesic_distribution.C
