ERGM fit to an observed UAV network with 15 actors to identify the significant statistics. Note that the following statistics are found significant in this fitting exercise: the number of edges in the graph, the geometrically weighed edgewise shared partner term (gwesp), the small difference attribute, and the number of isolates. Based on the computed parameter estimates, this model is likely to produce graphs with relatively few edges and shared connections between neighbors; also, the directly connected neighbors in the resulting networks would tend to see small differences in closeness values
