Definition for absdiffby ERGM Term
Description
This function defines and initializes the absdiffby ERGM term
that allows for representing homophily with respect to a
non-binary attribute (e.g., age) differentially by a binary
attribute (e.g., sex).
Usage
InitErgmTerm.absdiffby(nw, arglist, ...)
Arguments
nw
An object of class network.
arglist
A list of arguments as specified in the ergm.userterms
package framework.
...
Additional data passed into the function as specified in the
ergm.userterms package framework.
Details
This ERGM user term was written to allow for age-based homophily in
partnership formation that is asymmetric by sex. The absdiff component
targets age-based homophily while the by component allows that to be
structured by a binary attribute such as "male", in order to enforce an
offset in the average difference. This allows, for example, a average age
difference in partnerships, but with males (on average) older than females.
