Make Multiple Networks as Monoplex Structures

Description

A function to transform multiple networks into a monoplex structure.

Usage

mnplx(net, directed = TRUE, valued, diag, clu)

Arguments

net	A three-dimensional array to be transformed into a matrix.
directed	(optional and logical) Make symmetric the matrix?
valued	(optional and logical) Dichotomize the matrix?
diag	(optional and logical) Include diagonals?
clu	(optional) Vector with a cluster for permutation.

Details

This function is to collapse multiple types of tie of a network net recorded in an array into a matrix representation with monoplex relations. Other transformations on net are dichotomizing a valued network, and convert directed networks into undirected systems having or not self-relations depending on the value of diag. Moreover, the resulted matrix can be permuted with a clustering information in a vector in clu as with perm.

Value

A matrix of monoplex relations.

Examples

# create two binary relations among three elements
arr <- round( replace( array(runif(18), c(3,3,2)), array(runif(18),
       c(3,3,2))>.8, 3 ) )

# make array monoplex
mnplx(arr)
