R Documentation

Collects a sample of networks and returns the formation and dissolution statistics of each sample

Description

stergm.getMCMCsample is a low-level internal function not intended to be called directly by end users. It collects a sample of networks and returns the formation and dissolution statistics of each sample, along with a toggle matrix of the changes needed from the original network to each in the sample

Usage

stergm.getMCMCsample(nw, model.form, model.diss, model.mon, 
                    MHproposal.form, MHproposal.diss, 
                    eta.form, eta.diss, control, verbose)

Arguments

`nw`	a `network` object
`model.form`	a formation model, as returned by `ergm.getmodel`
`model.diss`	a dissolution model, as returned by `ergm.getmodel`
`model.mon`
`MHproposal.form`	a list of parameters needed for MHproposals of the formations
`MHproposal.diss`	a list of parameters needed for MHproposals of the dissolutions
`eta.form`
`eta.diss`
`control`	list of control paramters, probably from `control.stergm`
`verbose`	logical; whether this and other functions should be verbose

Details

This function is normally called inside simulate.stergm to prepare inputs for the C sampling code and return its results

Value

returns the MCMC sample as a list containing:
