assortativity: Calculating network assortativity

Description

The function calculates the assortativity of a network, that measures the preference of interactions between similar nodes. As in most literature, 'similarity' is here defined in terms of node degrees.

Usage

assortativity(network)

Arguments

network

matrix indicating network structure (symmetric)

Value

Numeric value

Examples

network <- matrix( sample(c(0,1),36, replace=TRUE), nrow=6,byrow=TRUE)
assort_value <- assortativity(network)
