bridge_by_community

Computes bridge strength by community pairs

An implementation of the Invariance Partial Pruning (IVPP) approach
described in Du, X., Johnson, S. U., Epskamp, S. (2025) The Invariance Partial
Pruning Approach to The Network Comparison in Longitudinal Data. IVPP is a
two-step method that first test for global network structural difference with
invariance test and then inspect specific edge difference with partial pruning.
The package also allows you to compute centrality measures and use radar chart to
plot. Analysis of bridge centralities by community pairs is also possible (e.g.,
the bridge strength from depression to anxiety, and from depression to panic disorder).
