randomREH: Random Relational Event History

In remify: Processing and Transforming Relational Event History Data

Random Relational Event History

Description

A randomly generated sequence of relational events with 20 actors and 9915 events. Each event type is associated to one of the three following sentiments: conflict, competition and cooperation.

Usage

randomREH

Format

data(randomREH) will load a list containing following objects:

edgelist

a data.frame that contains the random sequence of events. Columns of the edgelist are:

time

the timestamp indicating the time at which each event occurred;

actor1

the name of the actor that generated the relational event;

actor2

the name of the actor that received the relational event;

type

the type of the relational event.

actors

names of actors interacting in the dynamic network.

types

names of event types observed in the network and describing the sentiment of the interaction (conflict, competition and cooperation).

origin

starting time point (t_0) prior to the first observed event (t_1), the class of this object must be the same as the one of the time column in the edgelist.

omit_dyad

a list where each element describes an alteration of the riskset which takes place at specific time points and for certain actors and/or types.

Examples

data(randomREH)

# actors names
randomREH$actors

# types names
randomREH$types

# looking into the first modification of the riskset: omit_dyad[[1]]
## the data.frame `dyad` specifies which dyads will be omitted from the riskset 
## (all the dyads that expressed a `conflict` between actor won't be part of the riskset):
randomREH$omit_dyad[[1]]$dyad 

## the vector `time` specifies the time points when this exclusion takes place 
head(randomREH$omit_dyad[[1]]$time) # (printing out only the first 10 time points)

# run the preprocessing function reh() by supplying the loaded objects.
edgelist_reh <- remify(edgelist = randomREH$edgelist,
                    actors = randomREH$actors,
                    types = randomREH$types, 
                    directed = TRUE,
                    ordinal = FALSE,
                    origin = randomREH$origin,
                    omit_dyad = randomREH$omit_dyad,
                    model = "tie")

# `edgelist_reh` is an object of class `reh`
class(edgelist_reh)

# names of objects inside `edgelist_reh`
names(edgelist_reh)
