graph.cor.test: Test for Association / Correlation Between Paired Samples of Graphs

Description

graph.cor.test tests for association between paired samples of graphs, using Spearman's rho correlation coefficient.

Usage

graph.cor.test(Graphs1, Graphs2)

Value

A list with class 'htest' containing the following components:

statistic:

the value of the test statistic.

p.value:

the p-value of the test.

method:

a string indicating the used method.

data.name:

a string with the data's name(s).

estimates:

the estimated measure of association 'rho'.

Arguments

Graphs1

a list of undirected graphs. If each graph has the attribute eigenvalues containing its eigenvalues , such values will be used to compute their spectral density.

Graphs2

a list of undirected graphs. If each graph has the attribute eigenvalues containing its eigenvalues , such values will be used to compute their spectral density.

Examples

library(mvtnorm)

set.seed(1)
G1 <- G2 <- list()

p <- mvtnorm::rmvnorm(50, mean=c(0,0), sigma=matrix(c(1, 0.5, 0.5, 1), 2, 2))

ma <- max(p)
mi <- min(p)
p[,1] <- (p[,1] - mi)/(ma - mi)
p[,2] <- (p[,2] - mi)/(ma - mi)

for (i in 1:50) {
  G1[[i]] <- igraph::sample_gnp(50, p[i,1])
  G2[[i]] <- igraph::sample_gnp(50, p[i,2])
}
graph.cor.test(G1, G2)
