prune.cna: Prune A cna Network Object

Description

Remove nodes and their associated edges from a cna network graph.

Usage

prune.cna(x, edges.min = 1, size.min = 1)

Arguments

x

A protein network graph object as obtained from the cna function.

edges.min

A single element numeric vector specifying the minimum number of edges that retained nodes should have. Nodes with less than edges.min will be pruned.

size.min

A single element numeric vector specifying the minimum node size that retained nodes should have. Nodes with less composite residues than size.min will be pruned.

Value

• A cna class object, see function cna for details.

Details

This function is useful for cleaning up cna network plots by removing, for example, small isolated nodes. The output is a new cna object minus the pruned nodes and their associated edges. Node naming is preserved.
