find_start_temp: Starting temperature

In CommKern: Network-Based Communities and Kernel Machine Methods

Starting temperature

Description

Description of the starting temperature function.

Usage

find_start_temp(net, mod_matrix, spins, alpha, ts)

Arguments

net	a spinglass_net object
mod_matrix	mod_matrix
spins	spins
alpha	a double parameter balancing the use of the guidance matrix in modularity calculation
ts	the starting temperature for the search, set to 1 within the algorithm

Details

Within the spinglass algorithm, we would like to start from a temperature with at least 95 of all proposed spin changes accepted in 50 sweeps over the network. The function returns the temperature found.

Value

the starting temperature that meets the criteria specified above
