Make Multiple Networks as Monoplex Structures

Description

A function to transform multiple networks into a monoplex structure

Usage

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

Arguments

net	a three-dimensional array to be transformed into a matrix
directed	(optional) whether to make the matrix symmetric or not
dichot	(optional) should the output be dichotomized?
diag	(optional) should the diagonals be included?
clu	(optional) a vector with the cluster for the permutation

Details

With this function, it is possible to collapse multiple types of tie of a given network into a matrix representation with monoplex relations. Besides dichotomizing, directed networks can be converted into undirected systems as well with or without self-relations. 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 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))>.5, 1 ) )

# make array monoplex
mnplx(arr)
