measure_periods: Measures of network change

In manynet: Many Ways to Make, Modify, Mark, and Measure Myriad Networks

Measures of network change

Description

These functions measure certain topological features of networks:

• net_waves() measures the number of waves in longitudinal network data.

• net_change() measures the Hamming distance between two or more networks.

• net_stability() measures the Jaccard index of stability between two or more networks.

• net_correlation() measures the product-moment correlation between two networks.

These ⁠net_*()⁠ functions return a numeric vector the length of the number of networks minus one. E.g., the periods between waves.

Usage

net_waves(.data)

net_change(.data, object2)

net_stability(.data, object2)

net_correlation(.data, object2)

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
object2	A network object.
