In ergm: Fit, Simulate and Diagnose Exponential-Family Models for Networks

Reference Measures for Exponential-Family Random Graph Models

Description

This page describes how to specify the reference measures (baseline distributions) (the set of possible networks Y and the baseline weights h(y) to functions in the ergm package. It also provides an indexed list of the references visible to the ergm's API. References can also be searched via search.ergmReferences(), and help for an individual reference can be obtained with ⁠ergmReference?<reference>⁠ or help("<reference>-ergmReference").

Specifying reference measures

\ERGMspec

The reference measure (Y,h(y)) is specified on the right-hand side of a one-sided formula passed typically as the reference argument.
