Measures of network change

Description

These functions measure certain topological features of networks:

• network_change() measures the Hamming distance between two or more networks.

• network_stability() measures the Jaccard index of stability between two or more networks.

These ⁠network_*()⁠ functions return a numeric vector the length of the number of networks minus one. E.g., the periods between waves.

Usage

network_change(.data, object2)

network_stability(.data, object2)

Arguments

.data

An object of a {manynet}-consistent class:

• matrix (adjacency or incidence) from {base} R

• edgelist, a data frame from {base} R or tibble from {tibble}

• igraph, from the {igraph} package

• network, from the {network} package

• tbl_graph, from the {tidygraph} package

object2

A network object.
