transitiveweights-ergmTerm-7797c57b: Transitive weights

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

Transitive weights

Description

This statistic implements the transitive weights statistic defined by \insertCiteKr12e;textualergm, Equation 13. For each of these options, the first (and the default) is more stable but also more conservative, while the second is more sensitive but more likely to induce a multimodal distribution of networks.

Usage

# valued: transitiveweights(twopath="min", combine="max", affect="min")

Arguments

twopath	the minimum of the constituent dyads ( "min" ) or their geometric mean ( "geomean" )
combine	the maximum of the 2-path strengths ( "max" ) or their sum ( "sum" )
affect	the minimum of the focus dyad and the combined strength of the two paths ( "min" ) or their geometric mean ( "geomean" )
