Fit, Simulate and Diagnose Exponential-Family Models for Rank-Order Relational Data

Description

ergm.rank is a set of extensions to package ergm to fit and simulate from exponential-family random graph models for networks whose edge weights are ranks.

Details

Mainly, it implements the CompleteOrder reference measure for valued ERGMs \insertCiteKr12e,KrHu23eergm.rank and provides some rank-order change statistics (search.ergmTerms("ordinal") for a list) \insertCiteKrBu17eergm.rank.

When publishing results obtained using this package, please cite the original authors as described in citation(package="ergm.rank").

All programs derived from this package must cite it.

This package contains functions specific to using ergm() to model networks whose dyad values are ranks. Examples include preferences, valued ties reduced to ranks, etc.. These terms have a specialized interpretation, and are therefore generally prefixed by "rank.", though they should take any valued data.

For detailed information on how to download and install the software, go to the Statnet project website: https://statnet.org. A tutorial, support newsgroup, references and links to further resources are provided there.
