Set Vertex Attribute on Network Object — set_vertex

Sets a vertex attribute on an object of class network. This function simplifies the related function in the network package.

Usage

set_vertex_attribute(x, attrname, value, v)

Arguments

x: An object of class network.
attrname: The name of the attribute to set.
value: A vector of values of the attribute to be set.
v: IDs for the vertices whose attributes are to be altered.

Value

Returns an object of class network.

Details

This function is used in EpiModel workflows to set vertex attributes on an initialized empty network object (see network_initialize.

Examples

nw <- network_initialize(100)
nw <- set_vertex_attribute(nw, "age", runif(100, 15, 65))
nw
