Simulate a sociomatrix of fixed rank nominations from a social relations model. A latent matrix Z is drawn from the SRM, and each sender's outgoing ties are converted into ranked nominations: at most odmax partners are nominated, only positive latent affinities qualify, and the retained nominations are numbered from weakest (1) to strongest.

Usage

simY_frn(EZ, rho, odmax, YO)

Arguments

EZ

a square matrix giving the expected value of the latent Z matrix

rho

dyadic correlation

odmax

a scalar or vector giving the maximum number of nominations for each node

YO

a square matrix identifying where missing values should be maintained

Value

a square matrix, where higher values represent stronger relationships
