simulate_p2: Simulate networks from a p2 model

In rugbel/p2model: Maximum Likelihood Estimation of p2 models

Description

The function can be used to simulate from an estimated model or from a given parameter value. In the latter case, the model settings are included in a fitted model object.

Usage

simulate_p2(objfit, nsim = 100, conditional = FALSE, theta = NULL,
  Sigma = NULL)

Arguments

objfit	An object produced by a call to fit_p2.
nsim	Number of simulated networks.
conditional	Should the random effects be set at the estimated values, or else simulated from the normal distribution? Default is FALSE.
theta	Parameter value to be used for the simulation. In case it is NULL, the theta slot of objfit is used.
Sigma	Variance matrix of random effects to be used for the simulation. In case it is NULL, the Sigma slot of objfit is used.

Value

Either a single network (when nsim=1) or a list of nsim networks. See network.
