ergm.ego
doesn't use maximum likelihood estimation but rather a pseudo-maximum-likelihood approach of Binder (1983), in which we first estimate the population values of sufficient statistics then transfer their properties to model parameters; so a likelihood is not meaningful.
Right. What would you suggest as an AIC alternative for model selection?

Perhaps I'll add e.g. logLik.ergm.ego()
that will produce that kind of message as it is not obvious to users.
What it would take to have
logLik
andAIC
methods forergm.ego
objects? It seems that we needergm.bridge.dindstart.llk
and friends? Currently using existing.ergm
methods trip:
