MAX.int {NetInt}

Maximum (MAX) network integration

Description

It performs the Max integration between networks: \[\bar{w}_{ij} = \max_{d} w_{ij}^d\]

Usage

MAX.int(...)

Arguments

...

a list of numeric matrices. These must be named matrices representing adjacency matrices of the networks. Matrices may have different dimensions, but corresponding elements in different matrices must have the same name.

Value

the integrated matrix : the matrix resulting from MAX.

Examples

# Create three example networks of different size
set.seed(123);
A1 <- matrix(runif(100, min = 0, max = 1), nrow = 10);
A1[lower.tri(A1)] = t(A1)[lower.tri(A1)];
diag(A1) <- 0;
rownames(A1) <- colnames(A1) <- sample(LETTERS, 10);

A2 <- matrix(runif(49, min = 0, max = 1), nrow = 7);
A2[lower.tri(A2)] = t(A2)[lower.tri(A2)];
diag(A2) <- 0;
rownames(A2) <- colnames(A2) <- rownames(A1)[1:7];

A3 <- matrix(runif(100, min = 0, max = 1), nrow = 10);
A3[lower.tri(A3)] = t(A3)[lower.tri(A3)];
diag(A3) <- 0;
rownames(A3) <- colnames(A3) <- c(rownames(A1)[1:5], c("A", "B", "Z", "K", "Q"));

# Integrate networks using Maximum (MAX) method
A_int <- MAX.int(A1, A2, A3);
