This function creates an ego network through interactive interview questions. Note that it only creates a simplex, directed network.

create_ego(
  max_alters = Inf,
  roster = NULL,
  interpreter = FALSE,
  interrelater = FALSE
)

Arguments

max_alters

The maximum number of alters to collect. By default infinity, but many name generators will expect a maximum of e.g. 5 alters to be named.

roster

A vector of node names to offer as potential alters for ego.

interpreter

Logical. If TRUE, then it will ask for which attributes to collect and give prompts for each attribute for each node in the network. By default FALSE.

interrelater

Logical. If TRUE, then it will ask for the contacts from each of the alters perspectives too.
