get_chain_info: Function to extract chains from a 'sienaFit' object

In sctyner/netvizinf: Create network lineups for visual inference on stochastic actor-oriented models

Description

Function to extract chains from a sienaFit object

Usage

get_chain_info(ans)

Arguments

ans	sienaFit A sienaFit object resulting from a siena07 call.

Value

Data frame with 8 columns containing information on the chain object. See Details.

Details

The colums of the resulting data frame are:

• ego - The acting node of the microstep

• alter - The receiving node of the microstep

• recipRate - The reciprocal of the aggregate rate function in the current wave/period

• logEgoProb - Log probability of choosing the ego node

• logAlterProb - Log probability of choosing that alter node given the chosen ego node

• diag - A logical value indicating if the ego node equals the alter node, called a "diagonal" network in RSiena

• rep - The repetition number. Each microstep process from the initial network to the next wave is repeated 1000 times. rep runs from 1-1000.

• period - The period number indicates the wave that is being simulated toward. If period = m, then the microsteps simulate from observation t_m to observation t_{m+1}
