In netrics: Many Ways to Measure and Classify Membership for Networks, Nodes, and Ties

Measures of network breadth

Description

These functions return values or vectors relating to how broad a network is.

• net_by_diameter() measures the maximum path length in the network.

• net_by_length() measures the average path length in the network.

Usage

net_by_diameter(.data)

net_by_length(.data)

Arguments

.data

A network object of class mnet, igraph, tbl_graph, network, or similar. For more information on the standard coercion possible, see manynet::as_tidygraph().

Value

A network_measure numeric score.
