rankinconsistency-ergmTerm-b232ab56: (Weighted) Inconsistency

In ergm.rank: Fit, Simulate and Diagnose Exponential-Family Models for Rank-Order Relational Data

(Weighted) Inconsistency

Description

Measures the amount of disagreement between rankings of the focus network and a fixed covariate network x , by couting the number of pairwise comparisons for which the two networks disagree.

Usage

# valued: rank.inconsistency(x, attrname, weights, wtname, wtcenter)

Arguments

x, attrname	a specification for the reference ranking: either one of the following, or the name of a network attribute containing one of the following: a matrix with dimensions n \times n for unipartite networks and b \times (n-b) for bipartite networks; attrname, if given, is used to construct the term name. a network object with the same size and bipartitedness as LHS; attrname, if given, provides the name of the quantitative edge attribute to use for reference rankings values (in this case, missing edges in x are assigned a rank value of zero).
weights	optional parameter to weigh the counts. Can be either a 3D n\times n\times n-array whose (i,j,k) th element gives the weight for the comparison by i of j and k or a function taking three arguments, i, j, and k, and returning the weight of this comparison.
wtname, wtcenter	If wtcenter=TRUE , the calculated weights will be centered around their mean. wtname can be used to label this term.
