dyad: dyad

In remulate: Simulate Dynamic Networks from Relational Event Models

dyad

Description

This function specifies the input for the dyad effect in the formula argument for the function remulateTie or remulateActor. Not to be used independently

Usage

dyad(param = NULL, variable, attr_dyads, scaling = c("none", "std"))

Arguments

param	numeric value, data.frame or function with time parameter. Specifies the value of the effect for the statistic in the REM model
variable	character vector specifies the name of the column with covariate value in attr_actors data.frame
attr_dyads	data.frame object with rows specifying values of attr_dyads for a pair of actors (dyad). First column must contain sender id, Second column receiver id, Third column contains values for the attributes with column name corresponding to variable name
scaling	specifies the method for scaling the statistic. "none" [default] gives raw value of the statistic at time t, "std" the statistic is standardized per time

Details

Dyadic covariate: dyad attribute value is the tendency to create an event i -> j when (i,j) has a high attribute value.

if param is a data frame, it must have three columns: sender, receiver, and value (numeric), representing the parameter value for thay dyadic pair. The data.frame must contain all pairs of actors or dyads corresponding to the riskset.

if param is a function, it's first argument must be 't', corresponding to the time. The function may have additional arguments.

Value

List with all information required by ‘remulate::remulateTie()' or ’remulate::remulateActor()' to compute the statistic.
