measure_attributes: Describing attributes of nodes or ties in a network

In manynet: Many Ways to Make, Modify, Mark, and Measure Myriad Networks

Describing attributes of nodes or ties in a network

Description

These functions extract certain attributes from network data:

• node_attribute() returns an attribute's values for the nodes in a network.

• node_names() returns the names of the nodes in a network.

• node_is_mode() returns the mode of the nodes in a network.

• tie_attribute() returns an attribute's values for the ties in a network.

• tie_weights() returns the weights of the ties in a network.

• tie_signs() returns the signs of the ties in a network.

These functions are also often used as helpers within other functions. ⁠node_*()⁠ and ⁠tie_*()⁠ always return vectors the same length as the number of nodes or ties in the network, respectively.

Usage

node_attribute(.data, attribute)

node_names(.data)

node_is_mode(.data)

tie_attribute(.data, attribute)

tie_weights(.data)

tie_signs(.data)

Arguments

.data	An object of a manynet-consistent class: matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base} R edgelist, a data frame from {base} R or tibble from {tibble} igraph, from the {igraph} package network, from the {network} package tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph} package
attribute	Character string naming an attribute in the object.
