louvain: Louvain Community Detection Algorithm

Description

Computes a vector of communities (community) and a global modularity measure (Q)

Usage

louvain(A, gamma, M0)

Arguments

A

An adjacency matrix of network data

gamma

Defaults to 1. Set to gamma > 1 to detect smaller modules and gamma < 1 for larger modules

M0

Input can be an initial community vector. Defaults to NULL

Value

Returns a list containing:

community

A community vector corresponding to each node's community

Q

Modularity statistic. A measure of how well the communities are compartmentalized
