scg_eps: Error of the spectral coarse graining (SCG) approximation

Description

scg_eps computes $‖ v_{i} - P v_{i} ‖$ , where $v_{i}$ is the $i$ th eigenvector in V and $P$ is the projector corresponding to the mtype argument.

Usage

scg_eps(
  V,
  groups,
  mtype = c("symmetric", "laplacian", "stochastic"),
  p = NULL,
  norm = c("row", "col")
)

Arguments

A numeric matrix of (eigen)vectors assumed normalized. The vectors are to be stored column-wise in V).

groups

A vector of nrow(V) integers labeling each group vertex in the partition.

mtype

The type of semi-projector used for the SCG. For now “symmetric”, “laplacian” and “stochastic” are available.

A probability vector of length nrow(V). p is the stationary probability distribution of a Markov chain when mtype = “stochastic”. This parameter is ignored otherwise.

norm

Either “row” or “col”. If set to “row” the rows of the Laplacian matrix sum to zero and the rows of the stochastic matrix sum to one; otherwise it is the columns.

Value

scg_eps returns with a numeric vector whose $i$ th component is $‖ v_{i} - P v_{i} ‖$ (see Details).
