event: event

In remstats: Computes Statistics for Relational Event History Data

event

Description

Specifies the statistic for an "event" effect in the tie-oriented model. An "event" effect refers to an exogenous event attribute that affects the waiting time between events.

Usage

event(variable, event_attr)

Arguments

variable	string with the name of the column in the event_attr object for which the statistic has to be computed.
event_attr	an object of class data.frame that contains the attribute

Details

Because the statistics array is indexed by unique timepoint rather than by event, multiple events occurring at the same time must be collapsed to a single value; the average of the event attribute is taken over these events.

Value

List with all information required by 'remstats::remstats()' to compute the statistic.

Examples

  reh_tie <- remify::remify(history, model = "tie", event_attr = "setting")
  data(history, package = "remstats")
  history$work <- ifelse(history$setting == "work", 1, 0)
  effects <- ~ event("work", event_attr = history)
  remstats(reh = reh_tie, tie_effects = effects)
