Returns the mean of a neighborhood's attribute for all or a subset of nodes in the language network.

Usage

get_neighbor_mean(network, node_name = NULL, attribute)

Arguments

network: An igraph network object, generated by make_network() or make_network_sep() functions.
node_name: A vector containing node names to obtain values for. Node names must be found in igraph::V(network)$name. If unspecified, the default is to return values for all nodes in the network.
attribute: A string stating the node attribute to obtain the mean values for. The attribute must be found in igraph::vertex_attr_names(network). Typically it will be one of the node attribute columns in the item_df data frame object used to create the network.

Value

A named numeric vector.
