migraph (version 0.8.13)

cohesion: Cohesion for one-, two-, and three- mode networks

Description

These functions offer methods for summarising the cohesion in one-, two-, and three-mode networks.

Usage

graph_density(object)
graph_reciprocity(object, method = "default")
graph_transitivity(object)
graph_equivalency(object)
graph_congruency(object, object2)

Arguments

object

A one-mode or two-mode matrix, igraph, or tidygraph

method

For reciprocity, either default or ratio. See ?igraph::reciprocity

object2

Optionally, a second (two-mode) matrix, igraph, or tidygraph

Details

For one- and two-mode networks, graph_density summarises the ratio of ties to the number of possible ties.

For one-mode networks, shallow wrappers of igraph versions exist via graph_reciprocity and graph_transitivity.

For two-mode networks, graph_equivalency calculates the proportion of three-paths in the network that are closed by fourth tie to establish a "shared four-cycle" structure.

For three-mode networks, graph_congruency calculates the proportion of three-paths spanning the two two-mode networks that are closed by a fourth tie to establish a "congruent four-cycle" structure.
