control.san {ergm}R Documentation

Auxiliary for Controlling SAN

Description

Auxiliary function as user interface for fine-tuning simulated annealing algorithm.

Usage

control.san(prop.weights = "default", prop.args = NULL,
            drop = FALSE, maxedges=20000, maxchanges=1000000,
            packagenames="ergm", network.output="network",
            parallel = 0)

Arguments

prop.weights

Specifies the method to allocate probabilities of being proposed to dyads. Defaults to "default", which picks a reasonable default for the specified constraint. Other possible values are "TNT", "random", and "nonobserved", though not all values may be used with all possible constraints.

prop.args

An alternative, direct way of specifying additional arguments to proposal.

drop

logical; Should the degenerate terms in the model be dropped from the fit? If statistics occur on the extreme of their range they correspond to infinite parameter estimates. Default is FALSE.

maxedges

maximum number of edges expected in network

packagenames

Names of packages in which changestatistics are found. Currently unused as ergm is presumed.

network.output

character: R class with which to output networks. The options are "network" (default) and "edgelist.compressed" (which saves space but only supports networks without vertex attributes)

maxchanges

Currently unused

parallel

Number of threads in which to run the sampling. Currently unimplemented

Details

This function is only used within a call to the san function. See the usage section in san for details.

Value

A list with arguments as components.
