influenceR: Software tools to quantify structural importance of nodes in a network.
Description
The influenceR package includes functions to quantify the structural importance of nodes in a network. Algorithms include Betweenness Centrality, Bridging, Constraint Index, Effective Network Size, and Key Players. Currently, algorithms are only guaranteed to work on undirected graphs; work on directed graphs is in progress. These functions run on graph objects from the igraph package.
Details
In addition to igraph, this package makes use of the SNAP framework for a high-performance graph data structure and an OpenMP-parallelized implementation of Betweenness Centrality. See https://snap-graph.sourceforge.net
Funding
Development of this software package was supported by NIH grant R01 DA033875.
