reedmolloy: Generate a (non-random) network with a given degree sequence

Description Usage Arguments Value Note References See Also Examples

Description

Generate a network with a given number of actors with a given degree. The resultant network is not random - that is, is not a random draw from all such networks. This requires the network package.

Usage

1
reedmolloy(deg, maxit=10, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

deg

vector of counts where element i is the number of actors with degree i.

maxit

integer; maximum number of jitterings of the degree sequence to find a valid network.

verbose

Print out details of the progress of the algorithm.

Value

If the network package is available, the network is returned as a network object. If not a sociomatrix is returned.

Note

See the working papers on http://www.csss.washington.edu/Papers for details
