Create an empty network model — new_networkModel • isotracer

The first step in building a network model is to create a new, empty networkModel object. This model can then be completed using functions such as set_topo(), set_init(), etc...

new_networkModel(quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

quiet: Boolean, if FALSE print a message indicating which distribution family is used for proportions.

Value

An empty networkModel object. It is basically a zero-row tibble with the appropriate columns.

Examples

m <- new_networkModel()
#> Using default distribution family for proportions ("gamma_cv").
#>   (eta is the coefficient of variation of gamma distributions.)
#> Using default distribution family for sizes ("normal_cv").
#>   (zeta is the coefficient of variation of normal distributions.)
m
#> # A tibble: 0 × 3
#> # ℹ 3 variables: topology <list>, initial <list>, observations <list>
class(m)
#> [1] "networkModel" "tbl_df"       "tbl"          "data.frame"
