R: k-Cycle Census

cycle-ergmTerm {ergm} | R Documentation

## k-Cycle Census

### Description

This term adds one network statistic to the model for each value of `k` , corresponding to the number of `k` -cycles (or, alternately, semicycles) in the graph.

This term can be used with either directed or undirected networks.

### Usage

    # binary: cycle(k, semi=FALSE)

### Arguments

`k` | a vector of integers giving the cycle lengths to count. Directed cycle lengths may range from `2` to `N` (the network size); undirected cycle lengths and semicycle lengths may range from `3` to `N` ; length 2 semicycles are not currently supported.
`semi` | an optional logical indicating whether semicycles (rather than directed cycles) should be counted; this is ignored in the undirected case.
`directed` | 2-cycles are equivalent to mutual dyads.
