tnet (version 2.5)

degree_w: Degree centrality in a weighted network

Description

This function calculates two degree measures: the number of contacts that a node is connected to, and the sum of weights on ties originating from a node (out-strength). To calculate the reverse (in-degree, in-strength), specify type="in".

Usage

degree_w(net,measure=c("degree","output"), type="out")

Arguments

net

A weighted edgelist

measure

specifies which measures should be calculated

type

shall out- or in-measures be calculated? Default is out. For undirected networks, this setting is irrelevant, but must be specified.

Value

• Returns a data.frame with two or three columns: the first containts the node ids of all the nodes in the edgelist, and the second and/or third containt the corresponding degree and/or strength scores.
