.getNClusters: Find resolution for target cluster count

Description

Uses binary search to find a resolution parameter that produces approximately the target number of clusters.

Usage

.getNClusters(
  g,
  n_cluster,
  range_min = 0,
  range_max = 6,
  max_steps = 20,
  method = "leiden"
)

Value

A list containing:

• partition: The community detection result

• clusters: Number of clusters found

• best_resolution: The resolution parameter used

Arguments

g

An igraph graph object with weighted edges

n_cluster

Target number of clusters

range_min

Minimum resolution to search. Default is 0.

range_max

Maximum resolution to search. Default is 6.

max_steps

Maximum number of search iterations. Default is 20.

method

Community detection method: "leiden" or "louvain". Default is "leiden".
