Calculate diversity measures on an egor object.

alts_diversity_count() counts the categories of a variable present in the networks of an egor object. alts_diversity_entropy() calculates the Shannon entropy as a measurement for diversity of an alter attribute.

alts_diversity_count(object, alt.attr)

alts_diversity_entropy(object, alt.attr, base = 2)

Arguments

object	An egor object.
alt.attr	A character naming the variable containing the alter-attribute.
base	Numeric, base value of logarithm for entropy calculation.

Value

A tibble with the ego ID and a numeric result vector.
