Calculates the distance, or path length, between two actors part of the same network.

Usage

ts_geodist(net, ego1, ego2, degree = "degree")

Arguments

net

matrix, the adjacency matrix representing the relations between actors. Valid values are 0 and 1.

ego1

numeric, value indicating ego1 (row number of net)

ego2

numeric, value indicating ego2 (row number of net)

degree

string, the type of path to be considered: "outdegree"; "indegree"; "degree".

Value

numeric vector of length one, with the distance between the two egos. If egos are not connected ts_geodist returns Inf.

Details

This function is a wrapper around the function sna::geodist.

Examples

ts_geodist(net=ts_net1, ego1=6, ego2=8, degree="outdegree")
#> [1] 2
ts_geodist(net=ts_net1, ego1=8, ego2=6, degree="outdegree")
#> [1] Inf
ts_geodist(net=ts_net1, ego1=8, ego2=6, degree="degree")
#> [1] 2
