mossspider.dgm.uniform_network

uniform_network(n, degree, pr_w=0.35, seed=None)

Generates a uniform random graph for a set number of nodes (n) and specified max and min degree (degree). Additionally, assigns a binary baseline covariate, W, to each observation.

Parameters

  • n (int) – Number of nodes in the generated network

  • degree (list, set, array) – An array of two elements. The first element is the minimum degree and the second element is the maximum degree.

  • pr_w (float, optional) – Probability of W=1. W is a binary baseline covariate assigned to each unit.

  • seed (int, None, optional) – Random seed to use. Default is None.

Returns
