measure_periods function

Measures of network change

These functions measure certain topological features of networks:

• net_change() measures the Hamming distance between two or more networks.
• net_stability() measures the Jaccard index of stability between two or more networks.
• net_correlation() measures the product-moment correlation between two networks.

These net_*() functions return a numeric vector the length of the number of networks minus one. E.g., the periods between waves.

net_change(.data, object2)

net_stability(.data, object2)

net_correlation(.data, object2)

Arguments

• .data: An object of a manynet-consistent class:

  • matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base} R
  • edgelist, a data frame from {base} R or tibble from {tibble}
  • igraph, from the {igraph} package
  • network, from the {network} package
  • tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph} package

• object2: A network object.
