compareNetworks {BioNet} | R Documentation |
The function compares the following parameters of two networks: diameter, average degree, degree exponent, average path length and plots the cumulative degree distributions. The networks have to be connected components.
compareNetworks(network1, network2, plot=TRUE)
network1 |
Network graphNEL or igraph format. |
network2 |
Second network in graphNEL or igraph format, or subnetwork drawn from first network. |
plot |
Boolean value, whether to plot the cumulative degree distributions. |
A vector of network parameters is returned:
diam.network1 |
Network diameter |
diam.network2 |
Diameter of the subnetwork |
av.degree.network1 |
Average degree of the network |
av.degree.network2 |
Average degree of the subnetwork |
degree.exponent.network1 |
Degree exponent of the network |
degree.exponent.network2 |
Degree exponent of the subnetwork |
av.path.length.network1 |
Average path lenght of the network |
av.path.length.network2 |
Average path length of the subnetwork |
