Marking ties based on structural properties

Description

These functions return logical vectors the length of the ties in a network identifying which hold certain properties or positions in the network.

• tie_is_multiple() marks ties that are multiples.

• tie_is_loop() marks ties that are loops.

• tie_is_reciprocated() marks ties that are mutual/reciprocated.

• tie_is_feedback() marks ties that are feedback arcs causing the network to not be acyclic.

• tie_is_bridge() marks ties that cut or act as articulation points in a network.

• tie_is_path() marks ties on a path from one node to another.

They are most useful in highlighting parts of the network that are particularly well- or poorly-connected.

Usage

tie_is_multiple(.data)

tie_is_loop(.data)

tie_is_reciprocated(.data)

tie_is_feedback(.data)

tie_is_bridge(.data)

tie_is_path(.data, from, to, all_paths = FALSE)

Arguments

.data	An object of a manynet-consistent class: matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base} R edgelist, a data frame from {base} R or tibble from {tibble} igraph, from the {igraph} package network, from the {network} package tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph} package
from	The index or name of the node from which the path should be traced.
to	The index or name of the node to which the path should be traced.
all_paths	Whether to return a list of paths or sample just one. By default FALSE, sampling just a single path.
