process_state: Manage the process state

In NetSim: A Social Networks Simulation Tool in R

Description

A set of functions to manage the process state of the simulation Markov process. The process state can be created and networks, attribute containers and global attributes be added. The IDs of these objects can be requested and are necessary for some sub-sequent functions.

Usage

create_process_state(name = "default")
add_network(processState, network, name = "defaultNetwork")
get_network_index(processState, name = "defaultNetwork")
get_network(processState, name = "defaultNetwork")
add_attribute_container(processState, attributeContainer, name = "defaultAttribute")
get_attribute_container_index(processState, name = "defaultAttribute")
get_attribute_container(processState, name = "defaultAttribute")
add_global_attribute(processState, value = 0.0, name = "defaultGlobalAttribute")
get_global_attribute_index(processState, name = "defaultGlobalAttribute")
get_global_attribute(processState, name = "defaultGlobalAttribute")
get_process_state_name(processState)

Arguments

processState	A process state object
network	A network object
attributeContainer	An attribute container object
name	A string name of an object
value	A value to initialize the global attribute

Examples

# create an empty process state
processState <- create_process_state()

nActors <- 5

# create network object and add to process state
network <- create_network(matrix(1, nActors, nActors))
processState <- add_network(processState, network, name = "friendship")
get_network_index(processState, name = "friendship")

# create attribute container and add to process state
attribute1 <- create_attribute_container(c(rep(0, nActors%/%2), rep(1, nActors - nActors%/%2)))
attribute2 <- create_attribute_container(c(rep(0, nActors%/%2), rep(1, nActors - nActors%/%2)))
processState <- add_attribute_container(processState, attribute1, name = "gender")
processState <- add_attribute_container(processState, attribute2, name = "age")
as.numeric(attribute1)
get_attribute_container_index(processState, name="gender")
get_attribute_container_index(processState, name="age")

# add a global variable to the process state
processState <- add_global_attribute(processState, value = 1, name = "timer")
get_global_attribute(processState, name="timer")
get_global_attribute_index(processState, name="timer")
