Critical dyads are edges on a specified level which break motifs by being removed from the network.

critical_dyads(net, motif, lvl_attr = c("sesType"), level = -1)

Arguments

net

network object

motif

motif identifier

lvl_attr

character vector specifying the attribute name where level information is stored in net

level

level of the dyads which shall be considered, or -1 if the level shall be determined automatically.

Value

data frame with three columns, listing edges and their contribution to motifs described by the motif identifier in descending order

Details

The level parameter determines on which level of the network critical dyads are analysed. Per default, when level = -1, the first level in the motif which provides exactly two nodes is selected. Use this parameter to specify a level manually. The procedure for determining the level is the same as for the Actor's Choice Model, cf. vignette.

Note that this only works for undirected graphs. Regardless of whether the input graph is directed it is treated as undirected graph.

Examples

# \dontrun{ head(critical_dyads(ml_net, motif = "1,2[I.C]"))
