distNet: Network distance for a set of networks.

In ECGen/coNet: Model and analyze co-occurrence based networks

Description

Takes a list of networks and returns a distance matrix using Euclidean distance.

Usage

distNet(x, zero.na = TRUE, method = "euclidean")

Arguments

x	A list of networks to be used for calculating distances.
zero.na	LOGICAL: Should NA values be treated as zeros?
method	Distance/dissimilarity method to use: "euclidean" or "bray" for Bray-Curtis.

Details

This function computes the Euclidean (i.e. straight line) distance using all edges for all pairs of networks in a list of networks. The mathematics of using Euclidean distance to summarize the difference between two networks has not been explored fully, so use with caution.

Value

Returns a distance objects of pairwise distance or dissimilarities for all networks.
