nwsymmetrize

Symmetrize a network (alias for nwsym)

Syntax 

nwsymmetrize
[netname]
[,
mode(mode)
check
generate(newnetname)
replace]

Description

nwsymmetrize is an exact alias for nwsym - it forwards every argument and option unchanged and returns the identical stored results. It exists only so the verb symmetrize is directly discoverable by name, matching the package’s spelled-out-verb naming convention used elsewhere (e.g. nwcollapse, nwexpand, nwrecode). nwsym itself is unaffected and remains fully supported - see its own help file for the complete option reference, mode() details, and worked examples.

Examples

This loads the Glasgow data and symmetrizes the network glasgow1, identically to nwsym glasgow1.

. nwwebuse glasgow, nwclear
. nwsymmetrize glasgow1

Supported network types

Identical to nwsym - see that command’s help file.

Stored results

See nwsym.
