compute_custom_modularity: Function to compute the custom modularity of a citation graph...

In Diderot: Bibliographic Network Analysis

Description

This function computes custom modularity of the citation graph. Custom modularity here stands for Newman's modularity computed over the subgraph comprising nodes that belong to a single corpus only and are within the time window, as well as direct outgoing neighbors of the former nodes (whatever their year tag). Basically, the citation graph considered thus includes publications within the time window as well as older papers that they cite.

Usage

compute_custom_modularity(gr, infLimitYear, supLimitYear)

Arguments

gr	Citation graph
infLimitYear	Start year of the time window considered (included)
supLimitYear	End year of the time window considered (*excluded*)

Value

Returns the custom modularity value of the subgraph restricted to the interval [infLimitYear;supLimitYear[.
