In nemBM: Using Network Evolution Models to Generate Networks with Selected Blockmodel Type

Generating symmetric networks according to the selected local network mechanisms

Description

It generates random network considering the selected local network mechanisms.

Usage

nemSym(X, formula, theta, k = 5000, q)

Arguments

X	Initial network; of class matrix.
formula	The list of local netork mechanisms to be considered.
theta	A vector with the mechanisms' weights/strengths.
k	The number of iterations.
q	The probability of establishing a link (i.e. expected/desired density).

Value

The list with the following elements:

• initialNetwork - Initial network; of class matrix.

• finalNetwork - Final (generated) network; of class matrix.

• formula - The list of functions that define mechanisms used.

• theta - A vector with the mechanisms' weights/strengths used.

• k - The number of iterations.

• q - The probability of establishing a link.

Examples

formula <- list(popularity, assortativity)
X <- matrix(sample(c(0,1), size = 9**2, replace = TRUE), nrow = 9)
diag(X) <- 0
nemSym(X = X, formula = formula, theta = c(1, 1), k = 100, q = 0.25)
