features: Measures of network topological features

Description

Measures of network topological features

Usage

graph_core(object, membership = NULL)
graph_factions(object, membership = NULL)
graph_modularity(object, membership = NULL, resolution = 1)
graph_smallworld(object, times = 100)
graph_balance(object)

Arguments

object

An object of a migraph-consistent class:

• matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base} R

• edgelist, a data frame from {base} R or tibble from {tibble}

• igraph, from the {igraph} package

• network, from the {network} package

• tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph} package

membership

A vector of partition membership.

resolution

A proportion indicating the resolution scale. By default 1.

times

Integer of number of simulations.

Functions

• graph_core: Returns correlation between a given network and a core-periphery model with the same dimensions.

• graph_factions: Returns correlation between a given network and a component model with the same dimensions.

• graph_modularity: Returns modularity of one- or two-mode networks based on nodes' membership in pre-defined clusters.

• graph_smallworld: Returns small-world metrics for one- and two-mode networks. Small-world networks can be highly clustered and yet have short path lengths.

• graph_balance: Returns the structural balance index on the proportion of balanced triangles, ranging between 0 if all triangles are imbalanced and 1 if all triangles are balanced.
