net.rewired.caveman function

Rewired (Connected) Caveman Network

Simulate a rewired caveman network of m cliques of size k, and with a link rewiring probability p.

net.rewired.caveman(nc, m, p, seed = 99)

Arguments

• nc: Number of cliques (or caves) in the network.
• m: Number of nodes per clique.
• p: Link rewiring probability.
• seed: A random seed.

Returns

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

Details

The rewired caveman network is built on the corresponding regular caveman network with m cliques of size k. Then the links in this caveman network are rewired with probability p.

Examples

## Not run:

x <- net.rewired.caveman(50, 20, 0.0005)
## End(Not run)
