NetworkDistance {NetworkDistance}

Distance Measures for Networks

Description

Network has gathered much attention from many disciplines, as many of real data can be well represented in the relational form. The concept of distance - or, metric - between two networks is the starting point for inference on population of networks. NetworkDistance package provides a not-so-comprehensive collection of distance measures for measuring dissimilarity between two network objects. Data should be supplied as adjacency matrices, where we support three formats of data representation; matrix object in R base, network class from network package, and igraph class from igraph package.
