In mbojan/isnar: Introduction to Social Network Analysis with R

Description

Measure of within-group mixing in networks proposed in Gupta, Anderson and May (1989).

Usage

gamix(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'table'
gamix(object, debug = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'igraph'
gamix(object, vattr, ...)

## Default S3 method:
gamix(object, ...)

Arguments

object	R object, see Details for available methods
...	other objects passed to/from other methods
debug	logical, return some intermediate results as attributes to the returned value
vattr	character, name of vertex attribute

Details

The measure varies between -1/vcount(g) for dissassortative mixing and 1 for perfect within-group mixing. It takes a value of 0 for proportionate mixing.

Method for mixing matrices

Method for igraphs
