Description

Randomly traverses paths of increasing lengths within a set network to create an empirical pathway distribution for more accurate determination of path significance.

Usage

samplePaths(graph, max.path.length, num.samples = 1000, num.warmup = 10,
  verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

graph

A weighted igraph object. Weights must be in edge.weights or weight edge attributes.

max.path.length

The maxmimum path length.

num.samples

The numner of paths to sample

num.warmup

The number of warm up paths to sample.

verbose

Whether to display the progress of the function.

Details

Can take a bit of time.

Value

A matrix where each row is a path length and each column is the number of paths sampled.
