ergmlhs {ergm} | R Documentation

## An API for specifying aspects of an `ergm` model in the LHS/basis network.

### Description

`%ergmlhs%` extracts the setting, while assigning to it sets or updates it.

### Usage

    lhs %ergmlhs% setting

    ## S3 method for class 'network'
    lhs %ergmlhs% setting

    lhs %ergmlhs% setting <- value

    ## S3 method for class 'network'
    lhs %ergmlhs% setting <- value

    convert_ergmlhs(lhs)

    ## S3 method for class 'ergm_lhs'
    print(x, ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'ergm_lhs'
    summary(object, ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'summary.ergm_lhs'
    print(x, ...)

### Arguments

`lhs` | a `network` intended to serve as LHS of a `ergm` call.
`setting` | a character string holding a setting's name.
`value` | value with which to overwrite the setting.

### Details

The settings are stored in a named list in an `"ergm"` network attribute attached to the LHS network. Currently understood settings include:

`response`

  Edge attribute to be used as the response variable, constructed from the `response=` argument of `ergm()`.

`constraints`

  Structural constraints of the network: inherited by the `constraints=` argument of `ergm()`, `simulate.formula()`, etc..

`obs.constraints`

  Structural constraints of the observation process: inherited by the `obs.constraints=` argument of `ergm()`, `simulate.formula()`, etc..

### Functions

- `convert_ergmlhs`: `convert_ergmlhs` converts old-style settings to new-style settings.

- `print.ergm_lhs`: a print method.

- `summary.ergm_lhs`: helper method for printing summary.

- `print.summary.ergm_lhs`: helper method for printing summary.
