Tools for Identifying Important Nodes in Networks
Payton J. Jones
Includes assorted tools for network analysis. Bridge centrality (bridge())
calculates the extent to which nodes act as important communication points between
predefined community structures. The goldbricker() and net_reduce() functions
are tools for dealing with redundant nodes. For plotting networks, see MDSnet(),
PCAnet(), and EIGENnet().
