H-Index (h_index)

Description

Measure of ego network diversity for categorical attributes (Perry et al. 2018)

Usage

h_index(ego_id, measure, prefix = NULL, suffix = NULL)

Arguments

ego_id	A vector of ego identifiers located in an alter dataframe. If using data objects created by ego_netwrite, this should be the data frame entitled alters.
measure	A vector of alter attributes for a given categorical measure.
prefix	A character value indicating the desired prefix for the calculated homophily measure.
suffix	A character value indicating the desired suffix for the calculated homophily measure.

Value

h_index returns a dataframe of vectors that include the ego identifier and h-index of diversity for the desired categorical attribute.

Examples

# Run `ego_netwrite`
ngq_nw <- ego_netwrite(egos = ngq_egos,
                      ego_id = ngq_egos$ego_id,

                      alters = ngq_alters,
                      alter_id = ngq_alters$alter_id,
                      alter_ego = ngq_alters$ego_id,

                      max_alters = 10,
                      alter_alter = ngq_aa,
                      aa_ego = ngq_aa$ego_id,
                      i_elements = ngq_aa$alter1,
                      j_elements = ngq_aa$alter2,
                      directed = FALSE)


# Get H-index for race
race_hindex <- h_index(ego_id = ngq_nw$alters$ego_id,
                      measure = ngq_nw$alters$race,
                      prefix = "race")
