In rmangal: 'Mangal' Client

Retrieve network information, nodes, edges and references for a given set of Mangal network IDs

Description

Summarize mgNetwork properties.

Summarize mgNetworksCollection properties.

Usage

get_network_by_id(ids, as_sf = FALSE, force_collection = FALSE)

get_network_by_id_indiv(id, as_sf = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'mgNetwork'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mgNetworksCollection'
print(x, n = 6, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mgNetwork'
summary(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mgNetworksCollection'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

ids	a vector of Mangal identifier for networks (integer).
as_sf	a logical. Should networks metadata be converted into an sf object? Note that to use this feature sf must be installed.
force_collection	a logical. Should the output to be of class mgNetworksCollection even if it includes only one network.
id	a single network identifier (integer).
x	an object of class mgNetwork or mgNetworksCollection.
...	ignored.
n	maximum number of networks to display.
object	object of class mgNetwork or mgNetworksCollection.

Value

A mgNetwork object includes five data frames:

• network: includes all generic information on the network (if as_sf=TRUE then it is an object of class sf);

• nodes: information pertaining to nodes (includes taxonomic information);

• interactions: includes ecological interactions and their attributes;

• dataset: information pertaining to the original dataset;

• reference: details about the original publication.

A summary method is available for objects of class mgNetwork object and returns the following network properties:

• the number of nodes;

• the number of edges;

• the connectance;

• the linkage density;

• the degree (in, out an total) and the eigenvector centrality of every nodes.

Functions

• get_network_by_id_indiv(): Retrieve an individual network by its identifier.

Examples

net18 <- get_network_by_id(id = 18)
net18_c <- get_network_by_id(id = 18, force_collection = TRUE)
nets <- get_network_by_id(id = c(18, 23))
