remove_connections.matrix {SeqNet}

Remove connections in a network

Description

Remove connections in a network

Usage

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
remove_connections(x, prob_remove, run_checks = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

The 'network', 'network_module', or 'matrix' object to modify.

prob_remove

A value between 0 and 1. Each edge will be removed with probability equal to prob_remove.

run_checks

If TRUE and 'x' is a matrix, then it is checked that 'x' is an adjacency matrix. This catches the case where 'x' is a weighted matrix, in which case the weights are removed and a warning is given.

...

Additional arguments.

Value

The modified adjacency matrix.

Examples

# Create a random network with 10 nodes. 
nw <- random_network(20)
# Remove connections in the network each with probability 1/2.
nw_rewired <- remove_connections(nw, 0.5)
# Plot the two networks for comparison
g <- plot(nw)
plot(nw_rewired, g) # Pass in g to mirror the layout.
# Or plot the differential network.
plot_network_diff(nw, nw_rewired)
