kstar-ergmTerm {ergm}R Documentation

k-Stars

Description

This term adds one network statistic to the model for each element in k . The i th such statistic counts the number of distinct k[i] -stars in the network, where a k -star is defined to be a node N and a set of k different nodes {O[1], ..., O[k]} such that the ties {N, O[i]} exist for i=1, …, k . If this is specified then the count is over the number of k -stars where all nodes have the same value of the attribute. This term can only be used for undirected networks; for directed networks, see istar , ostar , twopath and m2star . Note that kstar(1) is equal to edges .
