Adds a random receiver effect to the model, with normal prior centered around \(0\) and a variance that is estimated. Can only be used on directed networks.
Important: This term works in latentnet's ergmm() only. Using it in ergm() will result in an error.
# binary: rreceiver(var=1, var.df=3)# valued: rreceiver(var=1, var.df=3)
The scale parameter for the scale-inverse-chi-squared
prior distribution of the receiver effect variance. To set
it in the prior argument to ergmm, use
receiver.var.
The degrees of freedom parameter for the
scale-inverse-chi-squared prior distribution of the receiver effect
variance. To set it in the prior argument to
ergmm, use receiver.var.df.
The following parameters are associated with this term:
receiverNumeric vector of values of each vertex's random receiver effect.
receiver.varRandom receiver effect's variance.
ergmTerm for index of model terms currently visible to the package.
