Random Network Rewiring Without Preserving Degree Distribution

Description

This function randomly rewires a directed network while preserving the total number of links but NOT the degree distribution. This is based on an approach described by Watts and Strogatz (1998) for small-world networks.

Usage

shuffle_network_ws(input_graph, delta = 100, directed = TRUE, weighted = TRUE)

Arguments

`input_graph`	A square adjacency matrix (directed, weighted or unweighted) or an igraph object.
`delta`	Number of rewiring attempts to perform.
`directed`	Logical, whether the network is directed (default: TRUE).
`weighted`	Logical, whether the network is weighted (default: TRUE).

Value

A shuffled adjacency matrix preserving the number of links but not degree distribution.
