net.density: Compute network density measure

In Rsocialdata.network: Network tools for the Rsocialdata package

Description

This generic method computes the density of a network object

Usage

net.density(x, target, quiet = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'NetworkVariable'
net.density(x, target, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

x	the object for which we want to compute the density
target	a character the label of the valid case to use for attesting of a link (see valids(your_network) or listing valid cases).
quiet	a logical if TRUE messages are disabled.

Value

A ScaleVariable object.

Methods (by class)

• NetworkVariable: method for NetworkVariable objects. The density is computed as the ratio of the number of existing connections over the total number of possible connections. The number of existing connections is computed as the number of occurences of the value '1' in the network. The total number of possible connections is computed as (number of row)*(number of rows - 1).
