tripercent-ergmTerm-a932d91a: Triangle percentage

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

Triangle percentage

Description

By default, this term adds one statistic to the model equal to 100 times the ratio of the number of triangles in the network to the sum of the number of triangles and the number of 2-stars not in triangles (the latter is considered a potential but incomplete triangle). In case the denominator equals zero, the statistic is defined to be zero. For the definition of triangle, see triangle . This is often called the mean correlation coefficient. This term can only be used with undirected networks; for directed networks, it is difficult to define the numerator and denominator in a consistent and meaningful way.

Usage

# binary: tripercent(attr=NULL, diff=FALSE, levels=NULL)

Arguments

attr, diff

quantitative attribute (see Specifying Vertex attributes and Levels (?nodal_attributes) for details.) If attr is specified and diff is FALSE , then the counts are restricted to those triples of nodes with equal values of the vertex attribute specified by attr . If attr is specified and diff is TRUE , then one statistic is added for each value of attr , equal to the number of triangles where all three nodes have that value of the attribute.

levels

add one statistic for each value specified if diff is TRUE attributes and Levels (?nodal_attributes) for details.)
