Extract measurements and dimensions from a netify object

Source: R/netify_measurements.R
netify_measurements.Rd

netify_measurements (also available as measurements) extracts comprehensive information about the structure, dimensions, and attributes of a netify object. This function provides a standardized way to inspect network properties across different netify types.

Usage

netify_measurements(netlet)

measurements(netlet)

Arguments

netlet

A netify object (class "netify") to analyze. Can be cross-sectional, longitudinal array, or longitudinal list format.

Value

A list containing measurements of the netify object with the following components (availability depends on netify type):

Actor information:

  • row_actors: Character vector (or list) of row actor names

  • col_actors: Character vector (or list) of column actor names

  • n_row_actors: Integer (or list) count of row actors

  • n_col_actors: Integer (or list) count of column actors

Temporal information:

  • time: Character vector of time period labels (NULL for cross-sectional)

  • n_time: Integer count of time periods (NULL for cross-sectional)

Layer information:

  • layers: Character vector of layer names (NULL if single layer)

  • n_layers: Integer count of layers (NULL if single layer)

Attribute information:

  • nvars: Character vector of nodal variable names

  • n_nvars: Integer count of nodal variables

  • dvars: Character vector of dyadic variable names

  • n_dvars: Integer count of dyadic variables

Details

The function will adapt its output based on the netify object type.
