Extract measurements and dimensions from a netify object

Source: R/netify_measurements.R
netify_measurements.Rd

netify_measurements (also available as measurements) extracts 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.
