Overview

About

Maintained by Simon Dirmeier5 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implementation of network diffusion algorithms such as heat diffusion or Markov random walks. Network diffusion algorithms generally spread information in the form of node weights along the edges of a graph to other nodes. These weights can for example be interpreted as temperature, an initial amount of water, the activation of neurons in the brain, or the location of a random surfer in the internet. The information (node weights) is iteratively propagated to other nodes until a equilibrium state or stop criterion occurs.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/diffusr/diffusr_0.1.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "diffusr_0.1.4.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("dirmeier/diffusr")

Development version from dirmeier/diffusr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-diffusr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-diffusr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
