graph.sim {BDgraph}

Graph simulation

Description

Simulating undirected graph structures, including "random", "cluster", "scale-free", "lattice", "hub", "star", and "circle".

Usage

graph.sim( p = 10, graph = "random", prob = 0.2, size = NULL, class = NULL, vis = FALSE,
           rewire = 0.05 )

Arguments

p

number of variables (nodes).

graph

undirected graph with options "random", "cluster", "smallworld", "scale-free", "lattice", "hub", "star", and "circle". It also could be an adjacency matrix corresponding to a graph structure (an upper triangular matrix in which g_{ij}=1 if there is a link between notes i and j, otherwise g_{ij}=0).

prob

if graph = "random", it is the probability that a pair of nodes has a link.

size

number of links in the true graph (graph size).

class

if graph = "cluster", it is the number of classes.

vis

visualize the true graph structure.

rewire

rewiring probability for smallworld network. Must be between 0 and 1.

Value

The adjacency matrix corresponding to the simulated graph structure, as an object with S3 class "graph".
