module.roles: Module roles

In umerijaz/microbiomeSeq: Microbial community analysis in an environmental context.

Description

This function assigns roles to features identified in sub communities using two metrics that is: within-module degree which measures how well a particular feature is connected to others in the same subcommunity (module.) The second metric is among-module connectivity which measures how a feature is linked to other modules in the network. Features are classified as ultra peripherals, peripherals, provincial, connectors, kinless, module hubs, or non hubs.
