R: Nonedgewise shared partners

nsp-ergmTerm {ergm} | R Documentation

## Nonedgewise shared partners

### Description

This is just like the `dsp` and `esp` terms, except this term adds one network statistic to the model for each element in `d` where the i th such statistic equals the number of non-edges (that is, dyads that do not have an edge) in the network with exactly `d[i]` shared partners. This term can be used with directed and undirected networks.

### Usage

    # binary: nsp(d)

### Arguments

`d` | a vector of distinct integers

### Note

For directed networks, only outgoing two-path ("OTP") shared partners are counted. In other words, for a (directed) non-edge `(i,j)` in a directed graph, the number of shared partners counted by `nsp` is the number of nodes `k` that have edges `i -> k -> j`. (These may also be called homogeneous shared partners.) To count other types of shared partners instead, see `dnsp`.
