Overview

The networkmeasures package is implementing efficiency and vulnerability as metrics for assessing network complexity, e.g. traffic, family or business network. These metrics were first described by Latora et al (2001; 2005) and Goldshtein et al (2004).

Background

This package was developed during uRos the 2019 Unconf. We implemented:

  1. The unweighted global efficieny measure for an igraph network (reference)
  • naive implementation, using the average inverse shortest path between all the nodes
  1. The unweighted local efficiency measure.

Installation

You can install the development version from github, using the remotes package:

remotes::install_github('uRosConf/networkmeasures/pkg', build_vignettes = TRUE)

Usage

The vignette introduction provides an intro to the functions and the theory behind them.

vignette("introduction", package = "networkmeasures")
