graphsim (version 1.0.4)

make_commonlink: Generate Common Link Matrix

Description

Compute the common link matrix of a (directed) igraph structure, preserving node / column / row names (and direction). We can compute the common links between each pair of nodes. This shows how many nodes are mutually connected to both of the nodes in the matrix (how many paths of length 2 exist between them).

Usage

make_commonlink_adjmat(adj_mat)
make_commonlink_graph(graph, directed = FALSE)

Value

An integer matrix of number of links shared between nodes

Arguments

adj_mat

precomputed adjacency matrix.

graph

An igraph object. May be directed or weighted.

directed

logical. Whether directed information is passed to the adjacency matrix.
