In remulate: Simulate Dynamic Networks from Relational Event Models

same

Description

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

Usage

same(param = NULL, variable, attr_actors, 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_actors	data.frame object with rows specifying values of attr_actors for an actor. First column must contain actor id, Second column time when covariate value changes (default zero if no change), 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: (Homophily) is the tendency to create an event i->j if actors i and j have the same attribute values

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.
