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)

Value

A cna class object, see function cna for details.

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.

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.
