Calculate diversity measures on an egor object.

alts_diversity_count() counts the categories of a variable present in the networks of an egor object. alts_diversity_entropy() calculates the Shannon entropy as a measurement for diversity of an alter attribute.

alts_diversity_count(object, alt.attr)

alts_diversity_entropy(object, alt.attr, base = 2)

Arguments

• object: An egor object.
• alt.attr: A character naming the variable containing the alter-attribute.
• base: Numeric, base value of logarithm for entropy calculation.

Returns

A tibble with the ego ID and a numeric result vector.

Examples

data("egor32")
alts_diversity_count(egor32, "age")
alts_diversity_entropy(egor32, "age")
