Simple examples

Create an undirected network with preferential attachment and homophily.

>>> from netin.models import PAHModel
>>> m = PAHModel(N=200, m=2, f_m=0.2, h_M=0.1, h_m=0.9, seed=42)
>>> m.simulate()

Create a directed network with preferential attachment and homophily.

>>> from netin.models import DPAHModel
>>> m = DPAHModel(N=200, f_m=0.2, d=0.02, h_M=0.1, h_m=0.6, plo_M=2.0, plo_m=2.0, seed=42)
>>> m.simulate()
