motif_path: Motifs of nodes pathing

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

Motifs of nodes pathing

Description

These functions include ways to take a census of the positions of nodes in a network:

• node_x_tie() returns a census of the ties in a network. For directed networks, out-ties and in-ties are bound together. For multiplex networks, the various types of ties are bound together.

• node_x_path() returns the shortest path lengths of each node to every other node in the network.

Usage

node_x_tie(.data)

node_x_path(.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 node_motif matrix with one row for each node in the network and a column for each motif type, giving the count of each motif in which each node participates. It is printed as a tibble, however, to avoid greedy printing. If the network is labelled, then the node names will be in a column named names.
