Motifs of network brokerage

Description

net_x_brokerage() returns the Gould-Fernandez brokerage roles in a network.

Usage

net_x_brokerage(.data, membership, standardized = FALSE)

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.
standardized	Whether the score should be standardized into a z-score indicating how many standard deviations above or below the average the score lies.

Value

A network_motif named numeric vector or sometimes a data frame with one row and a column for each motif type, giving the count of each motif in the network. This is printed as a tibble to avoid greedy printing of long vectors.
