Search the ergm-terms documentation for appropriate terms
Searches through the ergm.terms help page and prints out a
list of terms appropriate for the specified network's structural
constraints, optionally restricting by additional categories and keyword
matches.
search.ergmTerms(keyword, net, categories, name)
keyword |
optional character keyword to search for in the text of the term descriptions. Only matching terms will be returned. Matching is case insensitive. |
net |
a network object that the term would be applied to, used as template to determine directedness, bipartite, etc |
categories |
optional character vector of category tags to use to restrict the results (i.e. 'curved', 'triad-related') |
name |
optional character name of a specific term to return |
Uses grep internally to match keywords against the term
description, so keywords is currently matched as a single phrase.
Category tags will only return a match if all of the specified tags are
included in the term.
prints out the name and short description of matching terms, and
invisibly returns them as a list. If name is specified, prints out
the full definition for the named term.

myNet<-network.initialize(5,bipartite=3)
search.ergmTerms(net=myNet)
# or request the bipartite category
search.ergmTerms(categories='bipartite')
# search on multiple categories
