Package 'tidygraph'

Title: A Tidy API for Graph Manipulation
Description: A graph, while not "tidy" in itself, can be thought of as two tidy data frames describing node and edge data respectively. 'tidygraph' provides an approach to manipulate these two virtual data frames using the API defined in the 'dplyr' package, as well as provides tidy interfaces to a lot of common graph algorithms.

Determine the context of subsequent manipulations

Description

As a tbl_graph can be considered as a collection of two linked tables it is necessary to specify which table is referenced during manipulations. The activate verb does just that and needs affects all subsequent manipulations until a new table is activated. active is a simple query function to get the currently acitve context. In addition to the use of activate it is also possible to activate nodes or edges as part of the piping using the ⁠%N>%⁠ and ⁠%E>%⁠ pipes respectively. Do note that this approach somewhat obscures what is going on and is thus only recommended for quick, one-line, fixes in interactive use.

Usage

activate(.data, what)

active(x)

lhs %N>% rhs

lhs %E>% rhs

Arguments

.data, x, lhs

A tbl_graph or a grouped_tbl_graph

what

What should get activated? Possible values are nodes or edges.

rhs

A function to pipe into

Value

A tbl_graph

Note

Activate will ungroup a grouped_tbl_graph.

Examples

gr <- create_complete(5) %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(class = sample(c('a', 'b'), 5, TRUE)) %>%
  activate(edges) %>%
  arrange(from)

# The above could be achieved using the special pipes as well
gr <- create_complete(5) %N>%
  mutate(class = sample(c('a', 'b'), 5, TRUE)) %E>%
  arrange(from)
# But as you can see it obscures what part of the graph is being targeted

A data structure for tidy graph manipulation

Description

The tbl_graph class is a thin wrapper around an igraph object that provides methods for manipulating the graph using the tidy API. As it is just a subclass of igraph every igraph method will work as expected. A grouped_tbl_graph is the equivalent of a grouped_df where either the nodes or the edges has been grouped. The grouped_tbl_graph is not constructed directly but by using the group_by() verb. After creation of a tbl_graph the nodes are activated by default. The context can be changed using the activate() verb and affects all subsequent operations. Changing context automatically drops any grouping. The current active context can always be extracted with as_tibble(), which drops the graph structure and just returns a tbl_df or a grouped_df depending on the state of the tbl_graph. The returned context can be overriden by using the active argument in as_tibble().

is.tbl_graph(x)

Arguments

x

An object convertible to a tbl_graph

directed

Should the constructed graph be directed (defaults to TRUE)

...

Arguments passed on to the conversion function

mode

In case directed = TRUE should the edge direction be away from node or towards. Possible values are "out" (default) or "in".

node_key

The name of the column in nodes that character represented to and from columns should be matched against. If NA the first column is always chosen. This setting has no effect if to and from are given as integers.

nodes

A data.frame containing information about the nodes in the graph. If edges$to and/or edges$from are characters then they will be matched to the column named according to node_key in nodes, if it exists. If not, they will be matched to the first column.

edges

A data.frame containing information about the edges in the graph. The terminal nodes of each edge must either be encoded in a to and from column, or in the two first columns, as integers. These integers refer to nodes index.

Details

Constructors are provided for most data structures that resembles networks. If a class provides an igraph::as.igraph() method it is automatically supported.

Add graphs, nodes, or edges to a tbl_graph

Description

These functions are tbl_graph pendants to dplyr::bind_rows() that allows you to grow your tbl_graph by adding rows to either the nodes data, the edges data, or both. As with bind_rows() columns are matched by name and are automatically filled with NA if the column doesn't exist in some instances. In the case of bind_graphs() the graphs are automatically converted to tbl_graph objects prior to binding. The edges in each graph will continue to reference the nodes in the graph where they originated, meaning that their terminal node indexes will be shifted to match the new index of the node in the combined graph. This means the bind_graphs() always result in a disconnected graph. See graph_join() for merging graphs on common nodes.

Usage

bind_graphs(.data, ...)

bind_nodes(.data, ...)

bind_edges(.data, ..., node_key = "name")

Arguments

.data

A tbl_graph, or a list of tbl_graph objects (for bind_graphs()).

...

In case of bind_nodes() and bind_edges() data.frames to add. In the case of bind_graphs() objects that are convertible to tbl_graph using as_tbl_graph().

node_key

The name of the column in nodes that character represented to and from columns should be matched against. If NA the first column is always chosen. This setting has no effect if to and from are given as integers.

Value

A tbl_graph containing the new data

Examples

graph <- create_notable('bull')
new_graph <- create_notable('housex')

# Add nodes
graph %>% bind_nodes(data.frame(new = 1:4))

# Add edges
graph %>% bind_edges(data.frame(from = 1, to = 4:5))

# Add graphs
graph %>% bind_graphs(new_graph)

Calculate node and edge centrality

Description

The centrality of a node measures the importance of node in the network. As the concept of importance is ill-defined and dependent on the network and the questions under consideration, many centrality measures exist. tidygraph provides a consistent set of wrappers for all the centrality measures implemented in igraph for use inside dplyr::mutate() and other relevant verbs. All functions provided by tidygraph have a consistent naming scheme and automatically calls the function on the graph, returning a vector with measures ready to be added to the node data. Further tidygraph provides access to the netrankr engine for centrality calculations and define a number of centrality measures based on that, as well as provide a manual mode for specifying more-or-less any centrality score. These measures all only work on undirected graphs.

Select specific nodes or edges to compute on

Description

The focus()/unfocus() idiom allow you to temporarily tell tidygraph algorithms to only calculate on a subset of the data, while keeping the full graph intact. The purpose of this is to avoid having to calculate time costly measures etc on all nodes or edges of a graph if only a few is needed. E.g. you might only be interested in the shortest distance from one node to another so rather than calculating this for all nodes you apply a focus on one node and perform the calculation. It should be made clear that not all algorithms will see a performance boost by being applied to a few nodes/edges since their calculation is applied globally and the result for all nodes/edges are provided in unison.

Usage

focus(.data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'tbl_graph'
focus(.data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'morphed_tbl_graph'
focus(.data, ...)

unfocus(.data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'tbl_graph'
unfocus(.data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'focused_tbl_graph'
unfocus(.data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'morphed_tbl_graph'
unfocus(.data, ...)

Arguments

.data

A data frame, data frame extension (e.g. a tibble), or a lazy data frame (e.g. from dbplyr or dtplyr). See Methods, below, for more details.

...

<data-masking> Expressions that return a logical value, and are defined in terms of the variables in .data. If multiple expressions are included, they are combined with the & operator. Only rows for which all conditions evaluate to TRUE are kept.

Value

A graph with focus applied

Note

focusing is the lowest prioritised operation on a graph. Applying a morph() or a group_by() operation will unfocus the graph prior to performing the operation. The same is true for the inverse operations (unmorph() and ungroup()). Further, unfocusing will happen any time some graph altering operation is performed, such as the arrange() and slice() operations


Join graphs on common nodes

Description

This graph-specific join method makes a full join on the nodes data and updates the edges in the joining graph so they matches the new indexes of the nodes in the resulting graph. Node and edge data is combined using dplyr::bind_rows() semantic, meaning that data is matched by column name and filled with NA if it is missing in either of the graphs.

Usage

graph_join(x, y, by = NULL, copy = FALSE, suffix = c(".x", ".y"), ...)

Arguments

x

A tbl_graph

y

An object convertible to a tbl_graph using as_tbl_graph()

by

A join specification created with join_by(), or a character vector of variables to join by.

If NULL, the default, ⁠*_join()⁠ will perform a natural join, using all variables in common across x and y. A message lists the variables so that you can check they're correct; suppress the message by supplying by explicitly.

To join on different variables between x and y, use a join_by() specification. For example, join_by(a == b) will match x$a to y$b.

To join by multiple variables, use a join_by() specification with multiple expressions. For example, join_by(a == b, c == d) will match x$a to y$b and x$c to y$d. If the column names are the same between x and y, you can shorten this by listing only the variable names, like join_by(a, c).

join_by() can also be used to perform inequality, rolling, and overlap joins. See the documentation at ?join_by for details on these types of joins.

For simple equality joins, you can alternatively specify a character vector of variable names to join by. For example, by = c("a", "b") joins x$a to y$a and x$b to y$b. If variable names differ between x and y, use a named character vector like by = c("x_a" = "y_a", "x_b" = "y_b").

To perform a cross-join, generating all combinations of x and y, see cross_join().

copy

If x and y are not from the same data source, and copy is TRUE, then y will be copied into the same src as x. This allows you to join tables across srcs, but it is a potentially expensive operation so you must opt into it.

suffix

If there are non-joined duplicate variables in x and y, these suffixes will be added to the output to disambiguate them. Should be a character vector of length 2.

...

Other parameters passed onto methods.

Value

A tbl_graph containing the merged graph

Examples

gr1 <- create_notable('bull') %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(name = letters[1:5])
gr2 <- create_ring(10) %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(name = letters[4:13])

gr1 %>% graph_join(gr2)

Graph measurements

Description

This set of functions provide wrappers to a number of ìgraphs graph statistic algorithms. As for the other wrappers provided, they are intended for use inside the tidygraph framework and it is thus not necessary to supply the graph being computed on as the context is known. All of these functions are guarantied to return scalars making it easy to compute with them.

Usage

graph_adhesion()

graph_assortativity(attr, in_attr = NULL, directed = TRUE)

graph_automorphisms(sh = "fm", colors = NULL)

graph_clique_num()

graph_clique_count(min = NULL, max = NULL, subset = NULL)

graph_component_count(type = "weak")

graph_motif_count(size = 3, cut.prob = rep(0, size))

graph_diameter(weights = NULL, directed = TRUE, unconnected = TRUE)

graph_girth()

graph_radius(mode = "out")

graph_mutual_count()

graph_asym_count()

graph_unconn_count()

graph_size()

graph_order()

graph_reciprocity(ignore_loops = TRUE, ratio = FALSE)

graph_min_cut(capacity = NULL)

graph_mean_dist(directed = TRUE, unconnected = TRUE, weights = NULL)

graph_modularity(group, weights = NULL)

graph_efficiency(weights = NULL, directed = TRUE)

Arguments

attr

The node attribute to measure on

in_attr

An alternative node attribute to use for incomming node. If NULL the attribute given by type will be used

directed

Should a directed graph be treated as directed

sh

The splitting heuristics for the BLISS algorithm. Possible values are: ‘f’: first non-singleton cell, ‘fl’: first largest non-singleton cell, ‘fs’: first smallest non-singleton cell, ‘fm’: first maximally non-trivially connected non-singleton cell, ‘flm’: first largest maximally non-trivially connected non-singleton cell, ‘fsm’: first smallest maximally non-trivially connected non-singleton cell.

colors

The colors of the individual vertices of the graph; only vertices having the same color are allowed to match each other in an automorphism. When omitted, igraph uses the color attribute of the vertices, or, if there is no such vertex attribute, it simply assumes that all vertices have the same color. Pass NULL explicitly if the graph has a color vertex attribute but you do not want to use it.

min, max

The upper and lower bounds of the cliques to be considered.

subset

The indexes of the nodes to start the search from (logical or integer). If provided only the cliques containing these nodes will be counted.

type

The type of component to count, either 'weak' or 'strong'. Ignored for undirected graphs.

size

The size of the motif.

cut.prob

Numeric vector giving the probabilities that the search graph is cut at a certain level. Its length should be the same as the size of the motif (the size argument). By default no cuts are made.

weights

Optional positive weight vector for calculating weighted distances. If the graph has a weight edge attribute, then this is used by default.

unconnected

Logical, what to do if the graph is unconnected. If FALSE, the function will return a number that is one larger the largest possible diameter, which is always the number of vertices. If TRUE, the diameters of the connected components will be calculated and the largest one will be returned.

mode

How should eccentricity be calculated. If "out" only outbound edges are followed. If "in" only inbound are followed. If "all" all edges are followed. Ignored for undirected graphs.

ignore_loops

Logical. Should loops be ignored while calculating the reciprocity

ratio

Should the old "ratio" approach from igraph < v0.6 be used

Group nodes and edges based on community structure

Description

These functions are wrappers around the various clustering functions provided by igraph. As with the other wrappers they automatically use the graph that is being computed on, and otherwise passes on its arguments to the relevant clustering function. The return value is always a numeric vector of group memberships so that nodes or edges with the same number are part of the same group. Grouping is predominantly made on nodes and currently the only grouping of edges supported is biconnected components.

Measures based on the neighborhood of each node

Description

These functions wraps a set of functions that all measures quantities of the local neighborhood of each node. They all return a vector or list matching the node position.

Usage

local_members(order = 1, mode = "all", mindist = 0)

local_triangles()

local_ave_degree(weights = NULL)

local_transitivity(weights = NULL)

Arguments

order

Integer giving the order of the neighborhood.

mode

Character constant, it specifies how to use the direction of the edges if a directed graph is analyzed. For ‘out’ only the outgoing edges are followed, so all vertices reachable from the source vertex in at most order steps are counted. For ‘"in"’ all vertices from which the source vertex is reachable in at most order steps are counted. ‘"all"’ ignores the direction of the edges. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

mindist

The minimum distance to include the vertex in the result.

weights

An edge weight vector. For local_ave_degree: If this argument is given, the average vertex strength is calculated instead of vertex degree. For local_transitivity: if given weighted transitivity using the approach by A. Barrat will be calculated.

Value

A numeric vector or a list (for local_members) with elements corresponding to the nodes in the graph.

Functions

  • local_size(): The size of the neighborhood in a given distance from the node. (Note that the node itself is included unless mindist > 0). Wraps igraph::ego_size().

  • local_members(): The members of the neighborhood of each node in a given distance. Wraps igraph::ego().

  • local_triangles(): The number of triangles each node participate in. Wraps igraph::count_triangles().

  • local_ave_degree(): Calculates the average degree based on the neighborhood of each node. Wraps igraph::knn().

  • local_transitivity(): Calculate the transitivity of each node, that is, the propensity for the nodes neighbors to be connected. Wraps igraph::transitivity()

Examples

# Get all neighbors of each graph
create_notable('chvatal') %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(neighborhood = local_members(mindist = 1))

# These are equivalent
create_notable('chvatal') %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(n_neighbors = local_size(mindist = 1),
         degree = centrality_degree()) %>%
  as_tibble()

Apply a function to nodes in the order of a breath first search

Description

These functions allow you to map over the nodes in a graph, by first performing a breath first search on the graph and then mapping over each node in the order they are visited. The mapping function will have access to the result and search statistics for all the nodes between itself and the root in the search. To map over the nodes in the reverse direction use map_bfs_back().

Usage

map_bfs(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE, .f, ...)

map_bfs_lgl(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE, .f, ...)

map_bfs_chr(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE, .f, ...)

map_bfs_int(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE, .f, ...)

map_bfs_dbl(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE, .f, ...)

Arguments

root

The node to start the search from

mode

How should edges be followed? 'out' only follows outbound edges, 'in' only follows inbound edges, and 'all' follows all edges. This parameter is ignored for undirected graphs.

unreachable

Should the search jump to an unvisited node if the search is completed without visiting all nodes.

.f

A function to map over all nodes. See Details

...

Additional parameters to pass to .f

Details

The function provided to .f will be called with the following arguments in addition to those supplied through ...:

  • graph: The full tbl_graph object

  • node: The index of the node currently mapped over

  • rank: The rank of the node in the search

  • parent: The index of the node that led to the current node

  • before: The index of the node that was visited before the current node

  • after: The index of the node that was visited after the current node.

  • dist: The distance of the current node from the root

  • path: A table containing node, rank, parent, before, after, dist, and result columns giving the values for each node leading to the current node. The result column will contain the result of the mapping of each node in a list.

Instead of spelling out all of these in the function it is possible to simply name the ones needed and use ... to catch the rest.

Value

map_bfs() returns a list of the same length as the number of nodes in the graph, in the order matching the node order in the graph (that is, not in the order they are called). ⁠map_bfs_*()⁠ tries to coerce its result into a vector of the classes logical (map_bfs_lgl), character (map_bfs_chr), integer (map_bfs_int), or double (map_bfs_dbl). These functions will throw an error if they are unsuccesful, so they are type safe.

Map a function over a graph representing the neighborhood of each node

Description

This function extracts the neighborhood of each node as a graph and maps over each of these neighborhood graphs. Conceptually it is similar to igraph::local_scan(), but it borrows the type safe versions available in map_bfs() and map_dfs().

Usage

map_local(order = 1, mode = "all", mindist = 0, .f, ...)

map_local_lgl(order = 1, mode = "all", mindist = 0, .f, ...)

Arguments

order

Integer giving the order of the neighborhood.

mode

Character constant, it specifies how to use the direction of the edges if a directed graph is analyzed. For ‘out’ only the outgoing edges are followed, so all vertices reachable from the source vertex in at most order steps are counted. For ‘"in"’ all vertices from which the source vertex is reachable in at most order steps are counted. ‘"all"’ ignores the direction of the edges. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

mindist

The minimum distance to include the vertex in the result.

.f

A function to map over all nodes. See Details

...

Additional parameters to pass to .f

Details

The function provided to .f will be called with the following arguments in addition to those supplied through ...:

  • neighborhood: The neighborhood graph of the node

  • graph: The full tbl_graph object

  • node: The index of the node currently mapped over

The neighborhood graph will contain an extra node attribute called .central_node, which will be TRUE for the node that the neighborhood is expanded from and FALSE for everything else.

Value

map_local() returns a list of the same length as the number of nodes in the graph, in the order matching the node order in the graph. ⁠map_local_*()⁠ tries to coerce its result into a vector of the classes logical (map_local_lgl), character (map_local_chr), integer (map_local_int), or double (map_local_dbl). These functions will throw an error if they are unsuccesful, so they are type safe.

Examples

# Smooth out values over a neighborhood
create_notable('meredith') %>%
  mutate(value = rpois(graph_order(), 5)) %>%
  mutate(value_smooth = map_local_dbl(order = 2, .f = function(neighborhood, ...) {
    mean(as_tibble(neighborhood, active = 'nodes')$value)
  }))

Create a temporary alternative representation of the graph to compute on

Description

The morph/unmorph verbs are used to create temporary representations of the graph, such as e.g. its search tree or a subgraph. A morphed graph will accept any of the standard dplyr verbs, and changes to the data is automatically propagated to the original graph when unmorphing. Tidygraph comes with a range of morphers, but is it also possible to supply your own. See Details for the requirement for custom morphers. The crystallise verb is used to extract the temporary graph representation into a tibble containing one separate graph per row and a name and graph column holding the name of each graph and the graph itself respectively. convert() is a shorthand for performing both morph and crystallise along with extracting a single tbl_graph (defaults to the first). For morphs were you know they only create a single graph, and you want to keep it, this is an easy way.

Usage

morph(.data, .f, ...)

unmorph(.data)

crystallise(.data)

crystallize(.data)

convert(.data, .f, ..., .select = 1, .clean = FALSE)

Arguments

.data

A tbl_graph or a morphed_tbl_graph

.f

A morphing function. See morphers for a list of provided one.

...

Arguments passed on to the morpher

.select

The graph to return during convert(). Either an index or the name as created during crystallise().

.clean

Should references to the node and edge indexes in the original graph be removed when using convert

Details

It is only possible to change and add to node and edge data from a morphed state. Any filtering/removal of nodes and edges will not result in removal from the main graph. However, nodes and edges not present in the morphed state will be unaffected in the main graph when unmorphing (if new columns were added during the morhped state they will be filled with NA).

Morphing an already morhped graph will unmorph prior to applying the new morph.

During a morphed state, the mapping back to the original graph is stored in .tidygraph_node_index and .tidygraph_edge_index columns. These are accesible but protected, meaning that any changes to them with e.g. mutate will be ignored. Furthermore, if the morph results in the merging of nodes and/or edges the original data is stored in a .data column. This is protected as well.

When supplying your own morphers the morphing function should accept a tbl_graph as its first input. The provided graph will already have nodes and edges mapped with a .tidygraph_node_index and .tidygraph_edge_index column. The return value must be a tbl_graph or a list of tbl_graphs and these must contain either a .tidygraph_node_index column or a .tidygraph_edge_index column (or both). Note that it is possible for the morph to have the edges mapped back to the original nodes and vice versa (e.g. as with to_linegraph). In that case the edge data in the morphed graph(s) will contain a .tidygraph_node_index column and/or the node data a .tidygraph_edge_index column. If the morphing results in the collapse of multiple columns or edges the index columns should be converted to list columns mapping the new node/edge back to all the nodes/edges it represents. Furthermore the original node/edge data should be collapsed to a list of tibbles, with the row order matching the order in the index column element.

Value

A morphed_tbl_graph

Examples

create_notable('meredith') %>%
  mutate(group = group_infomap()) %>%
  morph(to_contracted, group) %>%
  mutate(group_centrality = centrality_pagerank()) %>%
  unmorph()

Description

This set of functions can be used for calculations that involve node pairs. If the calculateable measure is not symmetric the function will come in two flavours, differentiated with ⁠_to⁠/⁠_from⁠ suffix. The ⁠*_to()⁠ functions will take the provided node indexes as the target node (recycling if necessary). For the ⁠*_from()⁠ functions the provided nodes are taken as the source.

node_cohesion_to(nodes)

node_cohesion_from(nodes)

Perform a random walk on the graph and return encounter rank

Description

A random walk is a traversal of the graph starting from a node and going a number of steps by picking an edge at random (potentially weighted). random_walk() can be called both when nodes and edges are active and will adapt to return a value fitting to the currently active part. As the walk order cannot be directly encoded in the graph the return value is a list giving a vector of positions along the walk of each node or edge.

Usage

Arguments

n

The number of steps to perform. If the walk gets stuck before reaching this number the walk is terminated

root

The node to start the walk at. If NULL a random node will be used

mode

How edges are followed in the search if the graph is directed. "out" only follows outbound edges, "in" only follows inbound edges, and "all" or "total" follows all edges. This is ignored for undirected graphs.

weights

The weights to use for edges when selecting the next step of the walk. Currently only used when edges are active

Value

A list with an integer vector for each node or edge (depending on what is active) each element encode the time the node/edge is encountered along the walk

Examples

graph <- create_notable("zachary")

# Random walk returning node order
graph |>
  mutate(walk_rank = random_walk_rank(200))

# Rank edges instead
graph |>
  activate(edges) |>
  mutate(walk_rank = random_walk_rank(200))

Change terminal nodes of edges

Description

The reroute verb lets you change the beginning and end node of edges by specifying the new indexes of the start and/or end node(s). Optionally only a subset of the edges can be rerouted using the subset argument, which should be an expression that are to be evaluated in the context of the edge data and should return an index compliant vector (either logical or integer).

Usage

reroute(.data, from = NULL, to = NULL, subset = NULL)

Arguments

.data

A tbl_graph or morphed_tbl_graph object. grouped_tbl_graph will be ungrouped prior to rerouting

from, to

The new indexes of the terminal nodes. If NULL nothing will be changed

subset

An expression evaluating to an indexing vector in the context of the edge data. If NULL it will use focused edges if available or all edges

Value

An object of the same class as .data

Examples

# Switch direction of edges
create_notable('meredith') %>%
  activate(edges) %>%
  reroute(from = to, to = from)

# Using subset
create_notable('meredith') %>%
  activate(edges) %>%
  reroute(from = 1, subset = to > 10)

These functions wraps the igraph::bfs() and igraph::dfs() functions to provide a consistent return value that can be used in dplyr::mutate() calls. Each function returns an integer vector with values matching the order of the nodes in the graph.

Usage

bfs_rank(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

bfs_parent(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

bfs_before(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

bfs_after(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

bfs_dist(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

dfs_rank(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

dfs_rank_out(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

dfs_parent(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

dfs_dist(root, mode = "out", unreachable = FALSE)

Arguments

root

The node to start the search from

mode

How edges are followed in the search if the graph is directed. "out" only follows outbound edges, "in" only follows inbound edges, and "all" or "total" follows all edges. This is ignored for undirected graphs.

unreachable

Should the search jump to a new component if the search is terminated without all nodes being visited? Default to FALSE (only reach connected nodes).

Value

An integer vector, the nature of which is determined by the function.

Functions

  • bfs_rank(): Get the succession in which the nodes are visited in a breath first search

  • bfs_parent(): Get the nodes from which each node is visited in a breath first search

  • bfs_before(): Get the node that was visited before each node in a breath first search

  • bfs_after(): Get the node that was visited after each node in a breath first search

  • bfs_dist(): Get the number of nodes between the root and each node in a breath first search

  • dfs_rank(): Get the succession in which the nodes are visited in a depth first search

  • dfs_rank_out(): Get the succession in which each nodes subtree is completed in a depth first search

  • dfs_parent(): Get the nodes from which each node is visited in a depth first search

  • dfs_dist(): Get the number of nodes between the root and each node in a depth first search

Examples

# Get the depth of each node in a tree
create_tree(10, 2) %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(depth = bfs_dist(root = 1))

# Reorder nodes based on a depth first search from node 3
create_notable('franklin') %>%
  activate(nodes) %>%
  mutate(order = dfs_rank(root = 3)) %>%
  arrange(order)

Graph games based on different node types

Description

This set of games are build around different types of nodes and simulating their interaction. The nature of their algorithm is described in detail at the linked igraph documentation.

Usage

play_preference(
  n,
  n_types,
  p_type = rep(1, n_types),
  p_pref = matrix(1, n_types, n_types),
  fixed = FALSE,
  directed = TRUE,
  loops = FALSE
)

play_preference_asym(
  n,
  n_types,
  p_type = matrix(1, n_types, n_types),
  p_pref = matrix(1, n_types, n_types),
  loops = FALSE
)

play_bipartite(n1, n2, p, m, directed = TRUE, mode = "out")

play_traits(
  n,
  n_types,
  growth = 1,
  p_type = rep(1, n_types),
  p_pref = matrix(1, n_types, n_types),
  callaway = TRUE,
  directed = TRUE
)

play_citation_type(
  n,
  growth,
  types = rep(0, n),
  p_pref = rep(1, length(unique(types))),
  directed = TRUE
)

Arguments

n, n1, n2

The number of nodes in the graph. For bipartite graphs n1 and n2 specifies the number of nodes of each type.

n_types

The number of different node types in the graph

p_type

The probability that a node will be the given type. Either a vector or a matrix, depending on the game

p_pref

The probability that an edge will be made to a type. Either a vector or a matrix, depending on the game

fixed

Should n_types be understood as a fixed number of nodes for each type rather than as a probability

directed

Should the resulting graph be directed

loops

Are loop edges allowed

p

The probabilty of an edge occuring

m

The number of edges in the graph

mode

The flow direction of edges

growth

The number of edges added at each iteration

callaway

Use the callaway version of the trait based game

types

The type of each node in the graph, enumerated from 0

Value

A tbl_graph object

Evaluate a tidygraph algorithm in the context of a graph

Description

All tidygraph algorithms are meant to be called inside tidygraph verbs such as mutate(), where the graph that is currently being worked on is known and thus not needed as an argument to the function. In the off chance that you want to use an algorithm outside of the tidygraph framework you can use with_graph() to set the graph context temporarily while the algorithm is being evaluated.

Usage

with_graph(graph, expr)

Arguments

graph

The tbl_graph to use as context

expr

The expression to evaluate

Value

The value of expr

Examples

gr <- play_gnp(10, 0.3)

with_graph(gr, centrality_degree())
