net.cluster.affiliation function

Generate a cluster-affiliation graph

Generate a cluster-affiliation graph.

net.cluster.affiliation(
  DEG,
  community_affiliation_alpha,
  community_affiliation_lambda,
  community_affiliation_min,
  community_size_alpha,
  community_size_lambda,
  community_size_min
)

Arguments

• DEG: Degree sequence.
• community_affiliation_alpha: First scaling parameter of the membership distribution.
• community_affiliation_lambda: Second scaling parameter of the membership distribution.
• community_affiliation_min: Minimal membership.
• community_size_alpha: First scaling parameter of the cluster-size distribution.
• community_size_lambda: Second scaling parameter of the cluster-size distribution.
• community_size_min: Minimal size of a cluster.

Returns

A list containing the nodes of the network and their respective neighbors.

Details

The generated network has multiple (overlapping) densely-connected clusters.

Examples

## Not run:

DEG <- sample(seq(5,15),100, replace=TRUE)
x <- net.cluster.affiliation(DEG,
                             community_affiliation_alpha=1.5,
                             community_affiliation_lambda=10,
                             community_affiliation_min=1,
                             community_size_alpha=2.5,
                             community_size_lambda=40,
                             community_size_min=3)
## End(Not run)
