receive {remulate} | R Documentation |
receive
Description
This function specifies the input for the receive effect in the formula
argument for the function remulateTie
or remulateActor
. Not to be used independently
Usage
receive(param = NULL, variable, attr_actors, scaling = c("none", "std"))
Arguments
param |
numeric value, data.frame or function with time parameter. Specifies the value of the effect for the statistic in the REM model |
variable |
character vector specifies the name of the column with covariate value in attr_actors data.frame |
attr_actors |
data.frame object with rows specifying values of attr_actors for an actor. First column must contain actor id, Second column time when covariate value changes (default zero if no change), Third column contains values for the attributes with column name corresponding to variable name |
scaling |
specifies the method for scaling the statistic. |
Details
Receiver covariate: The tendency to create an event i->j when j has a high attribute value.
if param is a data frame, it must have three columns: sender, receiver, and value (numeric), representing the parameter value for thay dyadic pair. The data.frame must contain all pairs of actors or dyads corresponding to the riskset.
if param is a function, it's first argument must be 't', corresponding to the time. The function may have additional arguments.
Value
List with all information required by ‘remulate::remulateTie()' or ’remulate::remulateActor()' to compute the statistic.
