| nsp-ergmTerm {ergm} | R Documentation |
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.
# binary: nsp(d)

a vector of distinct integers |
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.
