Return the Cumulative Degree of a Set of Index Nodes

Usage

get_cumulative_degree(
  dat,
  index_posit_ids,
  networks = NULL,
  truncate = Inf,
  only.active.nodes = FALSE
)

Arguments

dat: Main netsim_dat object containing a networkDynamic object and other initialization information passed from netsim.
index_posit_ids: The positional IDs of the indexes of interest.
networks: Numerical indexes of the networks to extract the partnerships from. (May be > 1 for models with multi-layer networks.) If NULL, extract from all networks.
truncate: After how many time steps a partnership that is no longer active should be removed from the output.
only.active.nodes: If TRUE, then inactive (e.g., deceased) partners will be removed from the output.

Value

A data.frame with 2 columns:

index_pid: the positional ID (see get_posit_ids) of the indexes.
degree: the cumulative degree of the index.

Cumulative Degree

The cumulative degree of a node is the number of edges connected to this node at during the time window. The time window is by default all the steps stored in the cumulative_edgelist or set by the truncate parameter.
