Description

Generate a cluster-affiliation graph.

Usage

net.cluster.affiliation(
  DEG,
  community_affiliation_alpha,
  community_affiliation_lambda,
  community_affiliation_min,
  community_size_alpha,
  community_size_lambda,
  community_size_min
)

Arguments

DEG

Degree sequence.

community_affiliation_alpha

First scaling parameter of the membership distribution.

community_affiliation_lambda

Second scaling parameter of the membership distribution.

community_affiliation_min

Minimal membership.

community_size_alpha

First scaling parameter of the cluster-size distribution.

community_size_lambda

Second scaling parameter of the cluster-size distribution.

community_size_min

Minimal size of a cluster.

Value

A list containing the nodes of the network and their respective neighbors.

Details

The generated network has multiple (overlapping) densely-connected clusters.
