local_graph function

Measures based on the neighborhood of each node

These functions wraps a set of functions that all measures quantities of the local neighborhood of each node. They all return a vector or list matching the node position.

local_size(order = 1, mode = "all", mindist = 0)

local_members(order = 1, mode = "all", mindist = 0)

local_triangles()

local_ave_degree(weights = NULL)

local_transitivity(weights = NULL)

Arguments

• order: Integer giving the order of the neighborhood.

• mode: Character constant, it specifies how to use the direction of the edges if a directed graph is analyzed. For out only the outgoing edges are followed, so all vertices reachable from the source vertex in at most order steps are counted. For "in" all vertices from which the source vertex is reachable in at most order

  steps are counted. "all" ignores the direction of the edges. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

• mindist: The minimum distance to include the vertex in the result.

• weights: An edge weight vector. For local_ave_degree: If this argument is given, the average vertex strength is calculated instead of vertex degree. For local_transitivity: if given weighted transitivity using the approach by A. Barrat will be calculated.

Returns

A numeric vector or a list (for local_members) with elements corresponding to the nodes in the graph.

Functions

• local_size(): The size of the neighborhood in a given distance from the node. (Note that the node itself is included unless mindist \> 0). Wraps igraph::ego_size().
• local_members(): The members of the neighborhood of each node in a given distance. Wraps igraph::ego().
• local_triangles(): The number of triangles each node participate in. Wraps igraph::count_triangles().
• local_ave_degree(): Calculates the average degree based on the neighborhood of each node. Wraps igraph::knn().
• local_transitivity(): Calculate the transitivity of each node, that is, the propensity for the nodes neighbors to be connected. Wraps igraph::transitivity()

Examples

# Get all neighbors of each graph
create_notable('chvatal') %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(neighborhood = local_members(mindist = 1))

# These are equivalent
create_notable('chvatal') %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(n_neighbors = local_size(mindist = 1),
         degree = centrality_degree()) %>%
  as_tibble()
