totalDegree.multiplex: Total degrees of the multiplex network
In Achab94/mplex: mplex

Description Usage Arguments Value References See Also Examples

This function calculates the total degrees (as a sum of the degrees on the single layers) of the multiplex network.

  totalDegree.multiplex(obj,
                        indexNode = 1:length(nodes.multiplex(obj)),
                        indexLayer = 1:length(layers.multiplex(obj)),
                        verbose = FALSE
                        )

`obj`	An object of class `multiplex`.
`indexNode`	A vector of IDs (or labels) for the selected nodes on which to calculate the total degree. Default selects all the nodes of the network.
`indexLayer`	A vector of IDs (or labels) for the selected (intra)layers on which to calculate the total degree. Default selects all the (intra)layers of the network.
`verbose`	Default is `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, the function prints on console the name of the selected layers on which the sum is evaluated.

A numeric vector: each cell contains the total degree for a specific node of the multiplex network.
