problem with gmm

[LaureMargarit]

Hello,

I am currently doing a master thesis and I am using RSiena for my analysis, it is the first time I am using this model. I am working on networks of trade agreements. I differentiate bilateral agreements from plurilateral agreements, so I have a one-mode and two-mode analysis. My analysis includes 6 waves (1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015).

I currently have a problem with the use of the generalized method of moments. When I run the following line:

AlgoEnv1 <- sienaAlgorithmCreate(projname = "Environment_in_agreement", gmm=TRUE, modelType = c(environment0=3, environment0299=3, environment35=3, environment10=3, environment10299=3, environment135=3))

This error message appears:
Error in sienaAlgorithmCreate(projname = "Environment_in_agreement", : unused argument (gmm = TRUE)

Before asking for your help I checked if I was using the right version of RSiena. So, currently I have the following version 1.2.33. I also included effects that use gmm with the function : includeGMoMStatistics().

So, I'm asking for help because I really don't understand why I have this error message.
Thank you in advance for your answer,

Sincerely,

Laure Margarit student in Master 2 of Environment, Energy and Transport Economics at the University of Nantes

Dear Laure,

I tried to reproduce the error from the information you provided in the text (i.e., using a data set studying the evolution of one-mode and/or two-mode networks) but I did not manage to obtain the same error.
Could you please confirm that when you run the script GMOMscript.R (https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~snijders/siena/GMoMscript.R) everything works fine?

Thanks,
Viv

Dear Viv, Thank you very much for your attention ! I run the script and had the attached error message [image: image.png] It seems that sienaAlgorithmCreate does not expect gmm as an argument. For information I use RSiena version 1.3.0 and my version of RStudio is 4.0.2. Thanks a lot for your help, Laure Le jeu. 3 juin 2021 à 17:26, VAmati ***@***.***> a écrit :

Laure, I cannot see the image you attached. Could you please paste the text of the error in the message?

I'm really sorry ! The mistake I had was the same: *Error in sienaAlgorithmCreate(nsub = 2, n3 = 10000, gmm = TRUE, seed = 602) : unused argument (gmm = TRUE)* I have just installed the new version of R 4.1.0 and the error does not appear anymore... Thank you so much for taking the time to look! Laure Le jeu. 3 juin 2021 à 17:47, VAmati ***@***.***> a écrit :
