make_ego function

Making ego networks through interviewing

This function creates an ego network through interactive interview questions. Note that it only creates a simplex, directed network.

create_ego(
  max_alters = Inf,
  roster = NULL,
  interpreter = FALSE,
  interrelater = FALSE
)

Arguments

• max_alters: The maximum number of alters to collect. By default infinity, but many name generators will expect a maximum of e.g. 5 alters to be named.
• roster: A vector of node names to offer as potential alters for ego.
• interpreter: Logical. If TRUE, then it will ask for which attributes to collect and give prompts for each attribute for each node in the network. By default FALSE.
• interrelater: Logical. If TRUE, then it will ask for the contacts from each of the alters perspectives too.
