Find Components and Isolates in Multiple Networks

Description

Function to find different components in the multiple network including isolated nodes.

Usage

comps(x, bonds = c("entire", "strong", "weak"), sort)

Arguments

x	array representing a given network
bonds	type of bonds to be used in the creation of the relational system for the different components
sort	(optional and logical) sort components by size? Default FALSE

Details

The different components in the network are obtained through the transitive closure of the bundle ties. By default, the entire system is chosen, but the option bonds allows choosing different types of relational bundles for the components. Argument sort is for output of components having increasing size; that is (if they exist) dyads, triads, and so on.

Value

A list with two possible system “components”

com	network components
isol	network isolates

Examples

# create the data: two binary relations among three elements
arr <- round( replace( array( runif(18), c(3 ,3, 2) ), array( runif(18),
       c(3, 3, 2) ) > .9, 3 ) )

# find the components and isolates
comps(arr)
