as_igraph function

Convert egor object to network or igraph objects

These functions convert an egor object into a list of network or igraph objects. By default ego itself is not included in the created objects, there is a parameter (include.egor ) that allows for including ego.

as_igraph(
  x,
  directed = FALSE,
  include.ego = FALSE,
  ego.attrs = NULL,
  ego.alter.weights = NULL,
  graph.attrs = ".egoID"
)

## S3 method for class 'nested_egor'
as_igraph(
  x,
  directed = FALSE,
  include.ego = FALSE,
  ego.attrs = NULL,
  ego.alter.weights = NULL,
  graph.attrs = ".egoID"
)

## S3 method for class 'egor'
as.igraph(
  x,
  directed = FALSE,
  include.ego = FALSE,
  ego.attrs = NULL,
  ego.alter.weights = NULL,
  graph.attrs = ".egoID"
)

as_network(
  x,
  directed = FALSE,
  include.ego = FALSE,
  ego.attrs = NULL,
  ego.alter.weights = NULL,
  graph.attrs = ".egoID"
)

## S3 method for class 'egor'
as.network(
  x,
  directed = FALSE,
  include.ego = FALSE,
  ego.attrs = NULL,
  ego.alter.weights = NULL,
  graph.attrs = ".egoID"
)

Arguments

• x: An egor object.
• directed: Logical, indicating if alter-alter relations are directed.
• include.ego: Logical. Should ego be included?
• ego.attrs: Vector of names (character) or indices (numeric) of ego variables that should be carried over to the network/ igraph objects. This is ignored, when include.ego = FALSE (default).
• ego.alter.weights: Vector of names (character) or indices (numeric) of alter variables that should be carried over to the the network/ igraph objects, as edge attributes of the ego-alter relations. This is ignored, when `include.ego = FALSE`` (default).
• graph.attrs: Vector of names (character) or indices (numeric) of ego variables that are supposed to be carried over to the igraph object as graph attributes or the network object as network attributes. By default .egoID is carried over.

Details

The names of the variables specified in ego.attr and ego.alter.attr need to be the same as the names of corresponding alter attributes, in order for those variables to be merged successfully in the resulting network/ igraph object (see example).

Examples

e <- make_egor(3, 22)
as_igraph(e)
