Project an affiliation network onto its actors

mode_projection.Rd

These functions use bipartite_projection() to compute the projections of an affiliation network onto the actor or event nodes.

Usage

mode_projection(graph, mode = 1, name = "name")

actor_projection(graph, ...)

event_projection(graph, ...)

actor.projection(graph, ...)

event.projection(graph, ...)

Arguments

graph

An affiliation network.

mode

Numeric or character; whether to project onto actors (1 or "actors") or onto events (2 or "events").

name

Character; the attribute of the actor or event nodes in graph to use as names for the nodes in the projection. If NA, node IDs are converted to characters and used. If NULL, no names are assigned.

...

Arguments passed to mode_projection.

Value

An igraph object with nodes corresponding to one "type" of the input graph.
