Generate an evolving random graph with preferential attachment and aging

Source: R/games.R
aging.ba.game.Rd

[Deprecated]

aging.ba.game() was renamed to sample_pa_age() to create a more consistent API.

Usage

aging.ba.game(
  n,
  pa.exp,
  aging.exp,
  m = NULL,
  aging.bin = 300,
  out.dist = NULL,
  out.seq = NULL,
  out.pref = FALSE,
  directed = TRUE,
  zero.deg.appeal = 1,
  zero.age.appeal = 0,
  deg.coef = 1,
  age.coef = 1,
  time.window = NULL
)

Arguments

n

The number of vertices in the graph.

pa.exp

The preferential attachment exponent, see the details below.

aging.exp

The exponent of the aging, usually a non-positive number, see details below.

m

The number of edges each new vertex creates (except the very first vertex). This argument is used only if both the out.dist and out.seq arguments are NULL.

aging.bin

The number of bins to use for measuring the age of vertices, see details below.

out.dist

The discrete distribution to generate the number of edges to add in each time step if out.seq is NULL. See details below.

out.seq

The number of edges to add in each time step, a vector containing as many elements as the number of vertices. See details below.

out.pref

Logical constant, whether to include edges not initiated by the vertex as a basis of preferential attachment. See details below.

directed

Logical constant, whether to generate a directed graph. See details below.

zero.deg.appeal

The degree-dependent part of the ‘attractiveness’ of the vertices with no adjacent edges. See also details below.

zero.age.appeal

The age-dependent part of the ‘attrativeness’ of the vertices with age zero. It is usually zero, see details below.

deg.coef

The coefficient of the degree-dependent ‘attractiveness’. See details below.

age.coef

The coefficient of the age-dependent part of the ‘attractiveness’. See details below.

time.window

Integer constant, if NULL only adjacent added in the last time.windows time steps are counted as a basis of the preferential attachment. See also details below.
