Networks function

A multinetwork network representation.

A function for specifying the LHS of a multi-network (a.k.a. multilevel) ERGM. Typically used in conjunction with the N() term operator.

Networks(...)

Arguments

• ...: network specification, in one of two formats:

  1. An (optionally named) list of networks with same directedness and bipartedness (but possibly different sizes).
  2. Several networks as (optionally named) arguments.

Returns

A network object with multinetwork metadata.

Examples

data(samplk)

# Method 1: list of networks
monks <- Networks(list(samplk1, samplk2))
ergm(monks ~ N(~edges))

# Method 2: networks as arguments
monks <- Networks(samplk1, samplk2)
ergm(monks ~ N(~edges))
