GERGM_Object |
A GERGM object output by the gergm() estimation function. The following terms must still be specified: number_of_networks_to_simulate, thin, and MCMC_burnin. proposal_variance may also be specified, or if set equal to NULL, then the proposal variance from parameter estimation will be instead (this option is likely preferred in most situations). |
simulation_method |
Default is "Metropolis" which allows for exponential down weighting, can also be "Gibbs". |
number_of_networks_to_simulate |
Number of simulations generated for estimation via MCMC. Default is 500. |
thin |
The proportion of samples that are kept from each simulation. For example, thin = 1/200 will keep every 200th network in the overall simulated sample. Default is 1. |
proposal_variance |
The variance specified for the Metropolis Hastings simulation method. This parameter is inversely proportional to the average acceptance rate of the M-H sampler and should be adjusted so that the average acceptance rate is approximately 0.25. Default is 0.1. |
MCMC_burnin |
Number of samples from the MCMC simulation procedure that will be discarded before drawing the samples used for estimation. Default is 100. |
seed |
Seed used for reproducibility. Default is 123. |
return_constrained_networks |
Logical argument indicating whether simulated networks should be transformed back to observed scale or whether constrained [0,1] networks should be returned. Defaults to FALSE, in which case networks are returned on observed scale. |
optimize_proposal_variance |
Logical indicating whether proposal variance should be optimized if using Metropolis Hastings for simulation. Defaults to FALSE. |
target_accept_rate |
Defaults to 0.25, can be used to optimize Metropolis Hastings simulations. |
use_stochastic_MH |
A logical indicating whether a stochastic approximation to the h statistics should be used under Metropolis Hastings in-between thinned samples. This may dramatically speed up estimation. Defaults to FALSE. HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL! |
stochastic_MH_proportion |
Percentage of dyads/triads to use for approximation, defaults to 0.25 |
A list object containing simulated networks.
