createEffectsObject function

createEffectsObject

Specifies the model with endogenous and exogenous predictors. The predictors in the model are called “effects”.

createEffectsObject(effectInit, checkProcessState = NULL)

Arguments

• effectInit: A list of "effects", where each effect to be included is specified as a further list that contains the effect name and the additional parameters it needs. Effects without further parameters only contain the effect name (e.g., loops).
• checkProcessState: For internal use only.

Returns

An object of class "effectsList.monan".

Examples

# create an effects object
myEffects <- createEffectsObject(
  list(
    list("loops"),
    list("reciprocity_min"),
    list("dyadic_covariate", attribute.index = "sameRegion"),
    list("alter_covariate", attribute.index = "size"),
    list("resource_covar_to_node_covar",
      attribute.index = "region",
      resource.attribute.index = "sex"
    ),
    list("loops_resource_covar", resource.attribute.index = "sex")
  )
)
