CommunityModularity
CommunityModularity[g,partition]
gives the community modularity of a partition.
CommunityModularity[g,assignment]
gives the community modularity of an assignment.
Details and Options
- CommunityModularity functionality is now available in the built-in Wolfram Language function GraphAssortativity.
- To use CommunityModularity, you first need to load the Graph Utilities Package using Needs["GraphUtilities`"].
- A community in a network is a group of vertices such that there is a higher density of edges within the group than between them.
- Given a graph
, let the vertex set
be partitioned into
subsets
such that each subset belongs to one community. The community modularity
of this partition is defined as
, where
is the percentage of edges that have both ends in community
, and
is the percentage of edges that start from community
. In other words,
and
.
- The community modularity
is a number less than or equal to 1. A large positive value indicates that the vertex partition gives significant community structure.
- The following option can be given:
-
Weighted False whether edges with higher weights are preferred during matching
