ergm.getnetwork {ergm} | R Documentation

## Acquire and verify the network from the LHS of an `ergm` formula and verify that it is a valid network.

### Description

The function function ensures that the network in a given formula is valid; if so, the network is returned; if not, execution is halted with warnings.

### Usage

    ergm.getnetwork(formula, loopswarning = TRUE)

### Arguments

`formula` | a two-sided formula whose LHS is a `network`, an object that can be coerced to a `network`, or an expression that evaluates to one.
`loopswarning` | whether warnings about loops should be printed (`TRUE` or `FALSE`); defaults to `TRUE`.

### Value

A `network` object constructed by evaluating the LHS of the model formula in the formula's environment.
