Thus the total number of edges is # n^2/100, so the MLE is log(n^2/100) - log(n(n-1)-n^2/100), # or 2*log(n) - log(99n^2-100n) = log(n) - log(99n-100) for(n in 500) { # n should be a multiple of 100 test_that(paste0("second MPLE test for n =", n), { s <- sample(n-1, n/100) m <- cbind(rep(1:n,each=n/100), rep(s, n)) m[,2] <- m[,2] + apply(m,1,function(x) x[1]<=x[2]) e <- ergm(network(m, directed=TRUE)~edges) eta <- log(n) - log(99*n-100) # What the coefficient estimate should be expect_equal(coef(e), eta, tolerance=0.0001, ignore_attr=TRUE) }) }
