Target Stats Calculation Helpers

Small helper functions used as part of calc_targets()

Usage

calc_joint_nodefactor(params, attrs, joint_attrs, joint_name, rel)

calc_single_attr_nodefactor(params, attr_name, joint_attrs, nf_joint_counts)

calc_edges(nf_joint_counts)

calc_absdiff(params, rel, count_type, edges)

calc_concurrent(params, rel, num)

calc_cross_network(params, rel)

calc_nodecov_age(
  params,
  rel,
  attr_name,
  edges,
  level = NULL,
  joint_attrs,
  nf_joint_counts,
  attr_squared
)

check_targets(edges, final_targets, count_type, threshold = 0.01)

check_conditions(nw, params, rel, count_type, attr_name, joint_attrs)

Arguments

params

the parameter list object with parameters information for all networks estimated from data

attrs

which two attributes?

joint_attrs

string of length 2, the two attrs used to calculate joint distribution of estimates calculated from empirical data

joint_name

Name of joint attribute as found in parameter input, calculated in calc_targets()

rel

string, which relationship/network sub-lists to pull parameters from.

attr_name

string of length 1, used for nodefactor and nodematch targets. If NULL, produces targets based on the two joint_attrs specifed

nf_joint_counts

output from calc_joint_nodefactor()

count_type

string, which ERGM term to generate targets for. Currently can only be in the form "edges", "nodefactor", "nodematch", "absdiff_sqrt_age", or "concurrent".

edges

output from calc_edges()

level

additional statification for nodedov target calculation function

attr_squared

for nodecov target calculation, use squared version of attribute? (usually, age)

final_targets

vector, final ergm term targets to be checked before output

threshold

default = 0.01, proportion of expected activity based on edges that calulated target is allowed within (+/- threshold)

nw

the network object outputted from "generate_init_network" (usually already in environment during workflow)
