Description

Calculates standard errors for a linear combination of elements of a selection table

Usage

1
selectionTable.se(x, xd, name, vname, levls, ww, levls.alt = levls)

Arguments

x

sienaFit: Results from a single group analysis

xd

siena: the RSiena Data Object or Data Set that was used to generate x

name

character: the name of the endogenous variable of interest (a network or behavior variable)

vname

character: the actor variable name (i.e. predictor variable)

levls

numeric: number of ego levels in the variable given by vname

ww

matrix: same format as the selection table of interest, containing the coefficients of the linear combination

levls.alt

numeric (=levls): number of alter levels in vname (usually = levls, in which case you do not need to include it in the call)

Details

The linear combination for which the standard error is computed is sum_h,k ww[h,k] * selectionTable[h,k].

Value

matrix: the selection (or influence) table se's, with alter values of 'vname' across the columns, and ego values down the rows.
