Automatically determines core, intermediary, and peripheral items in the network. The entire network or within-community gradations can be determined. Based on the hybrid centrality

Usage

core.items(A, comm, by = c("network", "communities"))

Arguments

A

An adjacency matrix of network data

comm

A vector or matrix corresponding to the community each node belongs to

by

Should the core items be defined by network or communities? Defaults to "network". Set to "communities" to define core items within communities

Value

core

Core items for each community

inter

peri

Peripheral items for each community

#network
# Pearson's correlation only for CRAN checks
A <- TMFG(neoOpen, normal = FALSE)$A

#core items by network
coreBYnetwork <- core.items(A, by = "network")

#theoretical factors
comm <- c(rep(1,8),rep(2,8),rep(3,8),rep(4,8),rep(5,8),rep(6,8))

#core items by communities
coreBYcomm <- core.items(A, comm, by = "communities")
