update_ties: Update temporal ties and their attributes

In Dynet: Tidy Temporal Network Analysis

Update temporal ties and their attributes

Description

Update temporal ties and their attributes

Usage

update_ties(dn, ties, data, loops = FALSE)

Arguments

dn	A temporal network.
ties	Which ties to update: a condition on the spell table, evaluated the way subset() evaluates one, over the columns as.data.frame(dn) returns; or integer row positions or a logical mask over that table.
data	A data frame with one row or one row per selected tie. Columns may be canonical tie fields or arbitrary atomic spell attributes.
loops	Whether an endpoint update may introduce a new self-loop. Existing loops may always be retained. Default FALSE.

Value

A new dynet object, class c("dynet", "netobject", "cograph_network"), holding the unselected spells unchanged and the selected spells with the supplied values substituted. Because the edited spells are rebuilt together with the rest, spell order and the canonical spell identifiers may change. Raises dynet_loop_not_allowed when an endpoint update would create a new self-loop without loops = TRUE, and dynet_bad_input when the selection or data is malformed, or names the read-only derived columns duration or .raw_spell.

Examples

dn <- dynet(school_contacts)
marked <- update_ties(dn, ties = end - start > 1,
                      data = data.frame(kind = "long"))
marked
