simulate_graph: Simulate Independent Switching Graph

In gavincotterill/modulr: Simulate Individual Movement Behaviors Underlying Modular Fission-Fusion Networks

Simulate Independent Switching Graph

Description

Useful for those interested primarily in generating modular network graphs. Equivalent to using simulate_schedule with the independent simulator and then graph_from_schedule, but also includes a discrete-time approximation that is faster for large networks.

Usage

simulate_graph(
  n_animals,
  n_groups,
  time_to_leave,
  time_to_return,
  travel_time,
  sampling_duration,
  sampler = "discrete",
  samples_per_day = 1
)

Arguments

n_animals	The number of nodes to include in the network.
n_groups	The number of modules in the network.
time_to_leave	The average days spent within the home group prior to leaving.
time_to_return	The average days spent abroad before returning to home group.
travel_time	Vector of the range of values that travel to the next group can take, drawn from a uniform distribution.
sampling_duration	The number of days to simulate.
sampler	Takes one of c("discrete", "continuous"). Whether group composition should be monitored instantaneously (truth), or sampled in discrete time.
samples_per_day	Only used in discrete time approximations in simulate_graph.

Value

sim_igraph, an igraph graph object.

Examples

g <- simulate_graph(n_animals = 10,
                    n_groups = 2,
                    time_to_leave = 5,
                    time_to_return = 2,
                    travel_time = c(0.001,0.2),
                    sampling_duration = 7,
                    sampler = "discrete",
                    samples_per_day = 1
                    )
