as_nodeset_rsiena: Function to create a node set

In RSiena: Siena - Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis

Function to create a node set

Description

Creates a Siena node set which can be used as the nodes in a Siena network.
The functions as_nodeset_rsiena and sienaNodeSet are identical. The first name is preferred, the other is kept for backward compatibility.

Usage

as_nodeset_rsiena(n, nodeSetName="Actors", names=NULL)

sienaNodeSet(n, nodeSetName="Actors", names=NULL)

Arguments

n	integer, size of set.
nodeSetName	character string naming the node set.
names	optional character string vector of length n of the names of the nodes.

Details

This function is important for data sets having more than one node set, but not otherwise.

Value

Returns a Siena node set, an integer vector, possibly with names, plus the attributes, class equal to "as_nodeset_rsiena", and nodeSetName equal to the argument nodeSetName.
