net.cluster.affiliation: Generate a cluster-affiliation graph

In fastnet: Large-Scale Social Network Analysis

Description

Generate a cluster-affiliation graph.

Usage

net.cluster.affiliation(
  DEG,
  community_affiliation_alpha,
  community_affiliation_lambda,
  community_affiliation_min,
  community_size_alpha,
  community_size_lambda,
  community_size_min
)

Arguments

DEG	Degree sequence.
community_affiliation_alpha	First scaling parameter of the membership distribution.
community_affiliation_lambda	Second scaling parameter of the membership distribution.
community_affiliation_min	Minimal membership.
community_size_alpha	First scaling parameter of the cluster-size distribution.
community_size_lambda	Second scaling parameter of the cluster-size distribution.
community_size_min	Minimal size of a cluster.

Details

The generated network has multiple (overlapping) densely-connected clusters.

Value

A list containing the nodes of the network and their respective neighbors.
