rZ_rrl_fc function

Simulate Z given relative rank nomination data

Simulates a random latent matrix Z given its expectation, dyadic correlation and relative rank nomination data

rZ_rrl_fc(Z, EZ, rho, Y, YL)

Arguments

• Z: a square matrix, the current value of Z
• EZ: expected value of Z
• rho: dyadic correlation
• Y: square matrix of ranked nomination data
• YL: list of ranked individuals, from least to most preferred in each row

Returns

a square matrix, the new value of Z

Details

simulates Z under the constraints (1) Y[i,j]>Y[i,k] => Z[i,j]>Z[i,k]
