Convert an object to a Dynet temporal network

Source: R/coercion.R
as_dynet.Rd

Imports a temporal network held in another R representation, so that every Dynet verb applies to it. A method is supplied for networkDynamic objects; the method for dynet is the identity.

Usage

as_dynet(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'dynet'
as_dynet(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object representing a temporal network.

...

Passed to a class-specific method.

Value

A dynet() temporal network: an object of class c("dynet", "netobject", "cograph_network") carrying the tie ledger, the node table and the construction metadata. The dynet method is the identity, returning x unchanged, so as_dynet() is safe to call on an object that is already a temporal network.

See also

as_dynet.networkDynamic(), which imports a networkDynamic object.

Examples

dn <- dynet(data.frame(from = "A", to = "B", start = 0, end = 1))
as_dynet(dn)
#> # Temporal network (interval format, directed) | a cograph netobject
#> # 2 vertices | 1 edge spells | 1 distinct pairs
#> # observed from 0 to 1 step, binned every 1
#> 
#>  from to start end duration weight
#>     A  B     0   1        1      1
dn <- dynet(school_contacts)
