methodCommunity

Description

This function detects the community structure of a graph. To detect the community structure the user can choose one of the methods implemented in igraph.

Usage

methodCommunity(
  graph,
  method = c("walktrap", "edgeBetweenness", "fastGreedy", "louvain", "spinglass",
    "leadingEigen", "labelProp", "infomap", "optimal", "leiden", "other"),
  leiden_objective_function = c("modularity", "CPM"),
  ...,
  FUN = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

graph	The output of prepGraph.
method	The clustering method, one of "walktrap", "edgeBetweenness", "fastGreedy", "louvain", "spinglass", "leadingEigen", "labelProp", "infomap", "optimal", "leiden","other".
leiden_objective_function	objective_function parameter for leiden only for method
...	additional parameters to use with any of the previous described methods (see igraph package community detection methods for more details i.e. cluster_walktrap)
FUN	in case the @method parameter is "other" there is the possibility to use a personal function passing its name through this parameter. The personal parameter has to take as input the @graph and the @weights (that can be NULL), and has to return a community object.
verbose	flag for verbose output (default as FALSE)

Value

A Communities object.

Examples

my_file <- system.file("example/football.gml", package="robin")
graph <- prepGraph(file=my_file, file.format="gml")
