Memberships in brokerage positions

Description

node_in_brokerage() returns nodes membership as a powerhouse, connector, linchpin, or sideliner according to Hamilton et al. (2020).

Usage

node_in_brokering(.data, membership)

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().
membership	A character string naming an existing node attribute in the network, or a categorical vector of the same length as the number of nodes in the network where each element indicates the group membership of the corresponding node. While this may often be a vector created using ⁠node_in_*()⁠ functions, it can be any character vector that assigns nodes to groups or categories.

Value

A node_member character vector the length of the nodes in the network, of group memberships "A", "B", etc for each node. If the network is labelled, then the assignments will be labelled with the nodes' names.
