ego_density function

Calculate the relationship density in ego-centered networks

Calculate the relationship density in ego-centered networks

This function uses an egor object and calculates the density of all the ego-centered networks listed in the 'egor' object. Instead of an egor object, alter and alter-alter data can be provided as lists

or data.frames.

ego_density(object, ...) ## S3 method for class 'egor' ego_density(object, weight = NULL, max.netsize = NULL, directed = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

  • object: An egor object.
  • ...: arguments to be passed to methods
  • weight: Character naming a variable containing the weight values of relations. Weights should range from 0 to 1.
  • max.netsize: Optional parameter. Constant value used if the number of alters whose relations were collected is limited.
  • directed: logical indicating if the alter-alter relation data/ edges are directed or un-directed.

Returns

returns a vector of network density values.

Examples

data("egor32") ego_density(egor32)
