dupNodes is the companion package to paper "Intra-family links in the analysis of marital networks", with reference here.

It creates duplicates of nodes that have self loops in undirected graphs such as the one here

in this way

which has exactly the same degree; in this way, the weights of these self-loops can be taken into account when computing centrality measures such as betweenness.

Installation

Install released versions from CRAN as usual, or development version from here

Examples

There are some examples explained in vignettes. Use vignette("dupNodes") to access all of chem, or individually:

• vignette("doges-social-network") to apply functions here to data from the dogesr package; this is the online version
• vignette("florentine-social-network"), which uses data from the well-known Florentine social network, with a (documented) self-loop added; browse it in CRAN
