plot_contribution: Plotting contributions calculated from the observed data and...

In PAFit: Generative Mechanism Estimation in Temporal Complex Networks

Description

This function extracts from a Simulated_Data_From_Fitted_Model object contributions of rich-get-richer and fit-get-richer effects calculated using simulated networks and plots these contributions versus the contributions calculated from the original observed network. See joint_estimate for a description of how the contributions are calculated.

Usage

plot_contribution(simulated_object,
                  original_result,
                  which_plot = "PA",
                  y_label = ifelse("PA" == which_plot,
                  "Contribution of the rich-get-richer effect",
                  "Contribution of the fit-get-richer effect"),
                  legend_pos_x = 0.75,
                  legend_pos_y = 0.9)

Arguments

simulated_object	an object of class Simulated_Data_From_Fitted_Model that contains simulated data.
original_result	an object of class Full_PAFit_result that contains the estimation results from the original observed data.
which_plot	String. “PA": plots contributions of rich-get-richer effect, “fit": plots contribution of fit-get-richer effect. Default is “PA".
y_label	String. The label for y-axis. Default is "Contribution of rich-get-richer effect".
legend_pos_x	Numeric. The horizontal position, between (0,1), of the legend. Default value is 0.75.
legend_pos_y	Numeric. The vertical position, between (0,1), of the legend. Default value is 0.9.

Value

Output a plot.
