methodCommunity {robin}

methodCommunity

Description

This function detects the community structure of a graph. To detect the community structure the user can choose one of the methods implemented in igraph.

Usage

methodCommunity(
  graph,
  method = c("walktrap", "edgeBetweenness", "fastGreedy", "louvain", "spinglass",
    "leadingEigen", "labelProp", "infomap", "optimal", "leiden", "other"),
  ...,
  FUN = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

graph

The output of prepGraph.

method

The clustering method, one of "walktrap", "edgeBetweenness", "fastGreedy", "louvain", "spinglass", "leadingEigen", "labelProp", "infomap", "optimal", "leiden","other".

...

additional parameters to use with any of the previous described methods (see igraph package community detection methods for more details i.e. cluster_walktrap)

FUN

in case the @method parameter is "other" there is the possibility to use a personal function passing its name through this parameter. The personal parameter has to take as input the @graph and the @weights (that can be NULL), and has to return a community object.

verbose

flag for verbose output (default as FALSE)

Value

A Communities object.

Examples

my_file <- system.file("example/football.gml", package="robin")
graph <- prepGraph(file=my_file, file.format="gml")
methodCommunity (graph=graph, method="louvain")
