comcat(
  A,
  comm = c("walktrap", "louvain"),
  cent = c("strength", "degree"),
  absolute = TRUE,
  metric = c("across", "each"),
  diagonal = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

A

An adjacency matrix of network data

comm

Can be a vector of community assignments or community detection algorithms ("walktrap" or "louvain") can be used to determine the number of factors. Defaults to "walktrap". Set to "louvain" for louvain community detection

cent

Centrality measure to be used. Defaults to "strength".

absolute

Should network use absolute weights? Defaults to TRUE. Set to FALSE for signed weights

metric

Whether the metric should be compute for across all of the communities (a single value) or for each community (a value for each community). Defaults to "across". Set to "each" for values for each community

diagonal

Sets the diagonal values of the A input. Defaults to 0

...

Additional arguments for cluster_walktrap and louvain community detection algorithms

Value

A vector containing the between-community strength value for each node
