net.erdos.renyi.gnm function

Directed / Undirected Erdos-Renyi $G(n,m)$ network using a fix edge size.

Simulate a random network with n nodes and m edges, according to Erdos and Renyi (1959).

net.erdos.renyi.gnm(n, m, ncores = detectCores(), d = TRUE)

Arguments

• n: Number of nodes of the network.
• m: Number of edges of the network.
• ncores: Number of cores, by default detectCores() from parallel.
• d: A logical value determining whether is a network directed (default) or indirected.

Returns

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

Details

In this (simplest) random network, m edges are formed at random among n nodes. When d = TRUE is a directed network.

Examples

## Not run:

x <- net.erdos.renyi.gnm(1000, 100) 
## End(Not run)
