create_realistic_org: Create a realistic organisation

In ukgovdatascience/orgsurveyr: Visualising and Analysing Organisation Data As Tidy Networks

Description

Create an organisation where each unit starts with a specified number of child units up until a maximum depth, but where units are then randomly removed according to probabilities set in either a single value for all units, a value per unit depth or a user defined function of depth.

Usage

create_realistic_org(n_children = 4, max_depth = 3, prob = 0.3,
  .f = NULL, delete_units = TRUE)

Arguments

n_children	number of child units per parent unit (integer)
max_depth	integer maximum depth of organisation (integer)
prob	probability that a unit is deleted to create an irregular organisation. If a vector is provided that is the same length as max_depth then a different probability can be assigned to different levels of the organisation (double or vector of doubles)
.f	function of depth that generates probability that a unit is removed (NOT IMPLEMENTED) (function of x)
delete_units	retains intermediate variables and doesn't delete units - useful to understand how the function is working (logical)

Value

tidygraph object

Examples

set.seed(1234)
tg1a <- create_realistic_org(4,3, prob=0.3)
tg1a

## Not run: 
plot_org(tg1a, fill_var='org_depth')

## End(Not run)

set.seed(1234)
tg1b <- create_realistic_org(4,3, prob=0.3, delete_units=FALSE)
tg1b

## Not run: 
plot_org(tg1b, fill_var='to_delete')

## End(Not run)

set.seed(1234)
tg2a <- create_realistic_org(4,3, prob=c(0.2, 0.4, 0.6))
tg2a
## Not run: 
plot_org(tg2a, fill_var='org_depth')

## End(Not run)

set.seed(1234)
tg2b <- create_realistic_org(4,3, prob=c(0.2, 0.4, 0.6), delete_units=FALSE)
tg2b
## Not run: 
plot_org(tg2b, fill_var='to_delete')

## End(Not run)
