toa_diff: Difference in Time of Adoption (TOA) between individuals

Description

Creates \(n \times n\) matrix indicating the difference in times of adoption between each pair of nodes

Usage

toa_diff(obj, t0 = NULL, labels = NULL)

Value

An \(n \times n\) symmetric matrix indicating the difference in times of adoption between each pair of nodes.

Arguments

obj

Either an integer vector of size \(n\) containing time of adoption of the innovation, or a diffnet object.

t0

Integer scalar. Sets the lower bound of the time window (e.g. 1955).

labels

Character vector of size \(n\). Labels (ids) of the vertices.

Author

Details

Each cell ij of the resulting matrix is calculated as \(toa_j - toa_i\), so that whenever its positive it means that the j-th individual (alter) adopted the innovation sooner.

Examples

Run this code
# Generating a random vector of time
set.seed(123)
times <- sample(2000:2005, 10, TRUE)

# Computing the TOA differences
toa_diff(times)
