Get Discordant Edgelist Based on Specified Status Variable

Source: R/edgelists.R
get_discordant_edgelist.Rd

This function returns a data.frame with a discordant edgelist, defined as the set of edges for which the status attribute of interest is discordant between the two partners.

Usage

get_discordant_edgelist(
  dat,
  status.attr,
  head.status,
  tail.status,
  networks = NULL
)

Arguments

dat

Main netsim_dat object containing a networkDynamic object and other initialization information passed from netsim().

status.attr

The name of the status attribute of interest.

head.status

The value(s) of status.attr for which to look for the head of the edge. Can be a single value or a vector.

tail.status

The value(s) of status.attr for which to look for the tail of the edge. Can be a single value or a vector.

networks

Numerical indexes of the networks to extract the partnerships from. (May be > 1 for models with multiple overlapping networks.) If NULL, extract from all networks.

Value

A data.frame with the following columns:

  • head: Positional ID of the head node.

  • tail: Positional ID of the tail node.

  • head_status: Status of the head node.

  • tail_status: Status of the tail node.

  • network: The numerical index of the network on which the partnership is located.

Details

This is a generalized version of the discord_edgelist function. It creates an edgelist of current partnerships in which the status attribute of interest (as specified by the parameter status.attr) of one partner matches the value (or one of the values) of the head.status parameter while the corresponding status attribute of the other partner matches the value (or one of the values) of the tail.status parameter.
