addNodeNetworkStats: Compute Node-Level Network Properties

In mlizhangx/Network-Analysis-for-Repertoire-Sequencing-: Network Analysis of Immune Repertoire

Compute Node-Level Network Properties

Description

Given the node metadata and igraph for a network, computes a specified set of network properties for the network nodes. The node metadata is returned with each property added as a variable.

This function was deprecated in favor of addNodeStats() in NAIR 1.0.1. The new function accepts and returns the entire list of network objects returned by buildRepSeqNetwork() or by generateNetworkObjects(). It can compute cluster membership and add the values to the node metadata. It additionally updates the list element details with further information linking the node-level and cluster-level metadata.

Usage

addNodeNetworkStats(
  data,
  net,
  stats_to_include = chooseNodeStats(),
  cluster_fun = "fast_greedy",
  cluster_id_name = "cluster_id",
  overwrite = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	A data frame containing the node-level metadata for the network, with each row corresponding to a network node.
net	The network igraph.
stats_to_include	Specifies which network properties to compute. Accepts a vector created using chooseNodeStats() or exclusiveNodeStats(), or the character string "all" to compute all network properties.
cluster_fun	A character string specifying the clustering algorithm to use when computing cluster membership. Applicable only when stats_to_include = "all" or stats_to_include["cluster_id"] is TRUE. Passed to addClusterMembership().
cluster_id_name	A character string specifying the name of the cluster membership variable to be added to data. Applicable only when stats_to_include = "all" or stats_to_include["cluster_id"] is TRUE. Passed to addClusterMembership().
overwrite	Logical. If TRUE and data contains a variable whose name matches the value of cluster_id_name, then its values will be overwritten with new cluster membership values (obtained using addClusterMembership() with the specified value of cluster_fun). Applicable only when stats_to_include = "all" or stats_to_include["cluster_id"] is TRUE.
verbose	Logical. If TRUE, generates messages about the tasks performed and their progress, as well as relevant properties of intermediate outputs. Messages are sent to stderr().
...	Named optional arguments to the function specified by cluster_fun.

Details

Node-level network properties are properties that pertain to each individual node in the network graph.

Some are local properties, meaning that their value for a given node depends only on a subset of the nodes in the network. One example is the network degree of a given node, which represents the number of other nodes that are directly joined to the given node by an edge connection.

Other properties are global properties, meaning that their value for a given node depends on all of the nodes in the network. An example is the authority score of a node, which is computed using the entire graph adjacency matrix (if we denote this matrix by A, then the principal eigenvector of A^T A represents the authority scores of the network nodes).

See chooseNodeStats() for a list of the available node-level network properties.

Value

A copy of data with with an additional column for each new network property computed. See chooseNodeStats() for the network property names, which are used as the column names, except for the cluster membership variable, whose name is the value of cluster_id_name.
