R: Degree range

degrange-ergmTerm {ergm} | R Documentation

## Degree range

### Description

This term adds one network statistic to the model for each element of `from` (or `to` ); the i th such statistic equals the number of nodes in the network of degree greater than or equal to `from[i]` but strictly less than `to[i]` , i.e. with edges in semiopen interval `[from,to)` .

### Usage

    # binary: degrange(from, to=+Inf, by=NULL, homophily=FALSE, levels=NULL)

### Arguments

`from, to` | vectors of distinct integers. If one of the vectors have length 1, it is recycled to the length of the other. Otherwise, it must have the same length.
`by, homophily` | the optional argument `by` specifies a vertex attribute (see Specifying Vertex attributes and Levels (`?nodal_attributes`) for details). If this is specified and `homophily` is `TRUE` , then degrees are calculated using the subnetwork consisting of only edges whose endpoints have the same value of the `by` attribute. If `by` is specified and `homophily` is `FALSE` (the default), then separate degree range statistics are calculated for nodes having each separate value of the attribute.
`levels` | TODO (See Specifying Vertex attributes and Levels (`?nodal_attributes`) for details.)

### Details

This term can only be used with undirected networks; for directed networks see `idegrange` and `odegrange` . This term can be used with bipartite networks, and will count nodes of both first and second mode in the specified degree range. To count only nodes of the first mode ("actors"), use `b1degrange` and to count only those fo the second mode ("events"), use `b2degrange` .
