groupcount: Count of groups represented among ties

In kturetsky/sneasy: Helper Functions for Social Network Analysis

Count of groups represented among ties

Description

Calculate number of groups represented among each node's ties (a measure of diversity)

Usage

groupcount(
  g,
  dim,
  values,
  mode = "all",
  adj = FALSE,
  include_ego = FALSE,
  include_att = TRUE
)

Arguments

g	igraph graph
dim	Character string; dimension on which to calculate diversity–the name of a graph attribute in quotes (e.g., "race")
values	Optional vector of character strings; all possible values of dim (e.g., c("Black", "White", "Latinx", "Asian")). If not provided, will assume that all possible values are represented in graph attributes and will issue message listing those values. Only used if adj = TRUE. To suppress message, use values = NULL.
mode	Character string; count number of groups among all ties of a node ("all"; default), or just outgoing ties ("out") or incoming ties ("in").
adj	Logical; if FALSE (default), a simple count will be calculated; if TRUE, count will be divided by the total number of groups in the network as a whole, such that returned values will be a proportion of total groups in the network represented in each node's ties
include_ego	Logical; if FALSE (default), group count will be calculated only on network alters (outgoing or incoming ties, or both); if TRUE, group count will include ego's group.
include_att	Logical; if TRUE (default), will include a column containing node values of specified dimension (e.g., participants' races)

Value

A dataframe of number of groups represented in ties for a particular attribute, along with optional node values for that attribute. Group count will be NaN for individuals with no ties.
