pathways: Highlight shortest pathways in a network

In qgraph: Graph Plotting Methods, Psychometric Data Visualization and Graphical Model Estimation

Highlight shortest pathways in a network

Description

This function highlights the shortest paths between nodes in a network made by qgraph. Based on Isvoranu et al. (2016).

Usage

pathways(graph, from, to, fading = 0.25, lty = 3)

Arguments

graph	Output from qgraph.
from	A vector indicating the first set of nodes between which pathways should be highlighted. Can be numeric or characters corresponding to node labels.
to	A vector indicating the second set of nodes between which pathways should be highlighted. Can be numeric or characters corresponding to node labels.
fading	The fading of the edges that are not part of shortest paths between 'from' and 'to'.
lty	The line type of the edges that are not part of shortest paths between 'from' and 'to'.

Examples

library("qgraph")
library("psych")
data(bfi)

# Compute correlations:
CorMat <- cor_auto(bfi[,1:25])

# Compute graph with tuning = 0 (BIC):
BICgraph <- qgraph(CorMat, graph = "glasso", sampleSize = nrow(bfi),
                   tuning = 0, layout = "spring", title = "BIC", details = TRUE)

# All paths between Agreeableness and Neuroticism:
pathways(BICgraph, 
         from = c("A1","A2","A3","A4","A5"), 
         to = c("N1","N2","N3","N4","N5"))
