betweenness.decomposition: Betweenness decomposition

In antongrau/eliter: Contains the Danish Elite Network for 2012 and 2017 with analytical functions.

Betweenness decomposition

Description

Find the people that link the network together. All individuals with less than the minimum betweenness are removed from the network. This removes "hangers" and people with connections that are perfectly similar to others. Betweenness.decomposition is useful before core identification and as a pruning tool for "dirty" data. If you choose a relatively high minimum betweenness estimate then it can serve as a core identification method.

Usage

betweenness.decomposition(
  graph,
  max.path = 2,
  estimate.min = 1,
  silent = FALSE
)

Arguments

graph	a network graph
max.path	the longest paths used by betweenness.estimate
estimate.min

Value

a graph

Examples
